Alabama prohibits the sale of tobacco, vapor, and alternative nicotine products to anyone under 21 under Code Section 28-11-13, aligning with federal Tobacco 21 law.
Code of Alabama Section 28-11-13 sets the minimum legal age for purchasing tobacco, vapor, and alternative nicotine products at 21, mirroring the federal Tobacco 21 Act. Retailers must verify a government-issued photo ID for buyers appearing under 30. Possession or use of these products by persons under 21 is restricted, and providing to minors is prohibited. Penalties apply to retailers who sell to underage buyers, including fines, permit suspension, and ultimately permit revocation. Local enforcement supplements state Alcoholic Beverage Control Board oversight.
Sales to buyers under 21 trigger escalating fines, permit suspension, and revocation for repeat offenses.
