Kansas prohibits the sale of cigarettes, tobacco, and vapor products to anyone under 21 years of age statewide.
Under K.S.A. 79-3321, it is unlawful for any person to sell, give, or furnish cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cigars, or other tobacco products to a person under the age of 21. Retailers must verify the age of any purchaser who appears under 30 by checking a valid government-issued photo ID. The law applies to all retail outlets, vending machines, and online sales delivered to Kansas. Civil penalties apply to retailers and clerks who knowingly furnish products to underage buyers, with escalating fines for repeat violations.
Selling tobacco to anyone under 21 carries fines starting at $200 with increased penalties for repeat offenses.
