Florida Statute 569.101 prohibits the sale or delivery of tobacco and nicotine products to persons under 21, aligning with federal law and applying uniformly statewide with local preemption under FS 386.2125.
Under Section 569.101, Florida Statutes, no person shall sell, deliver, barter, furnish, or give, directly or indirectly, any tobacco product or nicotine product or nicotine dispensing device to any person under 21 years of age. Retailers must require ID for purchasers who appear under 30. Section 877.112 governs nicotine product retailing. Because nicotine product sales are preempted to the state under FS 386.2125, local governments cannot raise the age higher, lower it, or add separate ID requirements; the statewide minimum age applies uniformly.
Selling tobacco or nicotine to a person under 21 is a second-degree misdemeanor; repeat offenses can lead to retail license suspension or revocation.
