Arkansas Code 5-27-227 prohibits selling, giving, or furnishing tobacco, vapor, or alternative nicotine products to anyone under 21. Retailers must verify age and post required notices, with penalties for violations enforced statewide.
Arkansas raised the minimum age for tobacco, vapor product, and alternative nicotine product purchases to 21 to align with federal Tobacco 21 law. Retailers and clerks may not sell or furnish these products to anyone under 21 and must check identification for buyers appearing under 30. The law also restricts purchase, use, and possession by minors and includes signage requirements. Active-duty military members 18 or older are recognized as a limited exception under federal interpretations. Enforcement is by Arkansas Tobacco Control.
Sales to underage purchasers can result in fines, permit suspension, and criminal misdemeanor charges; clerks may face personal civil penalties.
