North Dakota requires purchasers of tobacco, vape, and alternative nicotine products to be 21 under NDCC 51-01.5, aligning with the federal Tobacco 21 minimum age.
NDCC 51-01.5 prohibits selling, furnishing, or giving tobacco products, electronic smoking devices, or alternative nicotine products to anyone under 21, conforming to the federal Tobacco 21 law. Retailers must check government-issued photo identification for any purchaser appearing under 30. Possession or use of tobacco products by minors is also prohibited and carries civil penalties for the minor. Vending machine sales remain restricted to age-controlled premises. The statute applies uniformly across the state, and licensed retailers face escalating penalties for repeat violations.
Selling tobacco or vape products to a person under 21 is a class B misdemeanor and triggers civil penalties starting around 250 dollars for first offenses, increasing for subsequent violations. Minors caught purchasing or possessing tobacco face civil fines under NDCC 51-01.5-03. Repeated retailer violations can result in tobacco license suspension.
