Tennessee prohibits the sale of tobacco, hemp, and vapor products to anyone under 21 under T.C.A. 39-17-1504, aligned with the federal Tobacco 21 standard adopted in 2019.
T.C.A. 39-17-1504 makes it a Class A misdemeanor for retailers or individuals to sell, distribute, or give tobacco, smoking hemp, or vapor products to persons under 21. Tennessee updated its statute to reflect the federal Tobacco 21 law passed in December 2019. Retailers must verify identification for purchasers who appear under 30. Possession by minors and use of fake IDs carry separate civil penalties. Internet and mail order vendors must comply with age-verification standards before shipment to Tennessee addresses.
Retailer first offenses carry small fines, but repeat sales to minors lead to escalating penalties up to $1,000 and potential suspension of tobacco licenses.
