Indiana sets the minimum legal age at 21 for purchasing tobacco, vapor, and alternative nicotine products, with penalties for both retailers and underage buyers.
IC 7.1-7-3 establishes 21 as the legal age to purchase or possess tobacco, e-cigarette, or alternative nicotine products in Indiana. IC 7.1-7-2-8 defines a minor as anyone under 21 for these purposes. Retailers must verify identification for any purchaser appearing under 27. Selling to a minor is a Class C infraction for first offenses, escalating with repeated violations under IC 7.1-7-5-3. Possession or misrepresentation of age by a minor is a Class C infraction under IC 7.1-7-5-7. Local governments cannot adopt a higher minimum age but may add complementary licensing.
Selling to under-21 buyers is a Class C infraction first offense, with escalating penalties; minors face Class C infractions for possession or false ID use.
