Jersey City retailers cannot sell flavored electronic smoking devices or e-liquids except tobacco-flavored products, following the New Jersey statewide flavor ban that took effect April 2020 to curb youth vaping rates.
Public Law 2019 c. 359 prohibits the sale of flavored vapor products including menthol, mint, fruit, dessert, and candy flavors throughout Jersey City. Only tobacco-flavored vape liquids and devices may be sold. The ban applies to brick-and-mortar tobacco retailers, vape shops, convenience stores, and online sellers shipping into New Jersey. Cannabis vape flavors are governed separately under the Cannabis Regulatory Commission. Hudson County Health Department conducts compliance inspections of Jersey City vape shops and convenience stores, often coordinated with state enforcement sweeps.
First violation up to $250; subsequent violations up to $500 per item plus risk of license suspension by New Jersey Division of Taxation tobacco licensing program.
