Louisiana prohibits the sale, purchase, and possession of tobacco, vapor, and alternative nicotine products by anyone under 21, conforming state law to federal Tobacco 21 standards.
La. R.S. 14:91.8 makes it unlawful to sell, give, or deliver tobacco products, electronic cigarettes, vapor products, or alternative nicotine products to persons under 21, and bars purchase, possession, or use by those under 21. Retailers must check identification of any purchaser appearing under 27. The law preempts local minimum-age requirements and is enforced by the Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control through inspections and compliance checks.
First-offense fines start at $100 for retailers and rise to $500 for repeat violations; minors face fines up to $100 and possible community service.
