Maryland restricts the sale of flavored ENDS products outside age-restricted vape shops. Menthol cigarettes are subject to FDA federal action. Baltimore Health Department enforces alongside state regulators.
Maryland law restricts sales of flavored electronic smoking products to retailers that limit access to adults 21 and older — generally, dedicated vape shops with no minors permitted. General convenience stores and gas stations cannot sell flavored ENDS other than tobacco and menthol flavors. Federal FDA action on menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars continues to evolve and applies as preempting federal law. Baltimore Health Department has advocated for stronger local action and conducts educational outreach with corner stores. Violators face state administrative action through the Comptroller as well as potential local citations under Baltimore's tobacco retail rules. Hookah lounges have narrow exemptions.
Civil fines up to $1,000 per violation; license suspension or revocation by Comptroller; product seizure by inspectors during compliance sweeps.
