The law covers cigarettes, cigars, electronic cigarettes, vaping devices, nicotine pouches, and rolling papers. Active military members under 21 are no longer exempt. Retailers must post conspicuous signage and train staff on verification. Stings by Ventura County Environmental Health and the FDA test compliance. Penalties escalate from warning to license suspension on repeated violations. Self-service displays are prohibited; products must be kept behind counters.
Selling tobacco to anyone under 21 brings escalating state and federal penalties starting at $400 per violation and rising to license suspension or revocation after multiple offenses.
