California Tobacco 21 law bars sale of cigarettes, vapes, and other tobacco products to anyone under 21 in San Bernardino County, with active duty military exempt to age 18.
California Senate Bill 7 raised the minimum tobacco purchase age to 21 in 2016, codified at Business and Professions Code 22963. The rule covers cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, vape liquids, chewing tobacco, and tobacco paraphernalia sold across San Bernardino County. Active duty military members 18 to 20 remain exempt under SBC retailer practice. Retailers must check ID for anyone appearing under 30 and post Tobacco 21 signage at point of sale. SBC Public Health and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration conduct decoy operations, especially near high schools, community colleges, and Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms gates.
Selling to under-21 customers triggers fines starting at 400 dollars per violation, with license suspension after three offenses in five years and possible criminal charges.
