Washington raised the minimum legal age to buy tobacco and vapor products to 21 under RCW 70.155.010, and Spokane retailers must verify age for any buyer who appears under 30.
RCW 70.155.010 prohibits sale of cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, hookah products, and electronic vapor products to anyone under 21 years old. Retailers must check government-issued ID for any buyer who appears under 30 and refuse the sale if ID is missing or expired. The Liquor and Cannabis Board licenses tobacco retailers and conducts compliance checks using underage decoys. Spokane has no separate age ordinance, but city business-license consequences can compound state penalties. Vending machine sales are restricted to age-controlled locations.
Selling to a buyer under 21 can trigger state fines starting around $100 plus license suspension on repeat violations under RCW 70.155.
