California law sets the minimum tobacco purchase age at 21, and Tuolumne County retailers face stings and license actions for selling to anyone younger.
Business and Professions Code 22958 and Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement (STAKE) Act require all California tobacco retailers to verify ID for buyers appearing under 30. The minimum age is 21 for cigarettes, vapes, cigars, smokeless, and accessories. Twain Harte stores must post warning signs in English and Spanish, refuse self-service displays except for adult-only stores, and pass undercover decoy operations. CDPH STAKE Act inspectors and Tuolumne County Sheriff conduct compliance checks. Repeat violations escalate to $1,000 to $6,000 fines and tobacco license suspension.
First underage sale draws a $400 to $600 fine; repeat sales escalate to $6,000 and license revocation under STAKE Act.
