Mississippi prohibits the sale, distribution, or furnishing of tobacco, alternative nicotine, and vapor products to anyone under age 21 under Miss. Code Section 97-32-9 and related Chapter 32 provisions.
Mississippi enforces a minimum legal sales age of 21 for tobacco and nicotine products through Miss. Code Title 97, Chapter 32. Section 97-32-9 makes it unlawful to sell, give, or furnish tobacco, alternative nicotine, or vapor products to a person under 21, with separate provisions addressing possession by minors and self-service displays. Retailers must require photo identification, post required signage, and follow vendor-assisted-sale rules for cigars and smokeless products. Penalties include monetary fines and potential permit consequences administered through the Department of Revenue. The state's adoption of the federal age threshold removed earlier 18-year-old standards from local regulation.
Furnishing tobacco to minors can result in fines, license suspension, and escalating penalties for repeat retail violations.
