New York Public Health Law Section 1399-aa prohibits the sale of tobacco products, electronic cigarettes, and vapor pens to anyone under age 21 throughout Westchester County, with retailer ID checks and license suspensions for violations.
New York Public Health Law Section 1399-aa raised the minimum age for purchasing tobacco, herbal cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, vapor products, rolling papers, and shisha to 21 statewide effective November 2019, predating federal Tobacco 21. Westchester retailers must verify ID for any buyer who appears under age 30. The Westchester County Smoking Code Chapter 484 layers additional restrictions on where tobacco can be used. Enforcement uses underage compliance checks coordinated by NYSDOH and county health staff. Violations trigger fines for clerks and the establishment, plus retail tobacco license suspension or revocation for repeat offenders.
First sale to underage buyer up to 1,000 dollars; second up to 2,500 dollars; license suspension or revocation for repeat offenses.
