It is illegal to sell or furnish any tobacco, vapor, or nicotine product to anyone under 21 in Sioux Falls under South Dakota state law SDCL §34-46-2 and federal Tobacco 21.
South Dakota raised the legal sales age for tobacco and vapor products to 21 in 2020, codified at SDCL §34-46-2, aligning with the federal Tobacco 21 law. Sioux Falls retailers must verify ID for any buyer who appears under 30. Both clerks and businesses can be cited for sales to minors, with state license action layered on city business licensing under Chapter 38. The SD Department of Revenue and SF Police conduct compliance checks. The law covers cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, e-cigarettes, vapor products, and synthetic nicotine.
Selling cigarettes, vapor, or nicotine products to anyone under 21, or failing to verify ID for younger-looking customers, triggers fines, license suspension, and possible criminal charges.
