California Senate Bill 7 (Business and Professions Code §22963) bans tobacco and vape sales to anyone under 21 in Fresno, requiring photo ID checks for purchasers who appear under 30.
California's Tobacco 21 law (Senate Bill 7, codified at Business and Professions Code §22963 and Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement Act §22950 et seq.) prohibits selling tobacco products, e-cigarettes, vape pens, and nicotine pouches to anyone under 21 statewide, with no exception for active military as of 2016. Fresno retailers must check photo identification for any purchaser who appears under 30. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration runs decoy operations through its STAKE program. Fresno County Public Health partners with CDPH on retailer education and enforcement, especially around schools and youth gathering areas.
First violations carry $400-$600 fines for clerks; retailer license penalties under STAKE escalate from $400 to $6,000 for fifth offenses, plus tobacco license suspension or revocation by CDTFA.
