Cook County has not enacted a countywide ban on flavored tobacco or vape products as of 2026, though CCDPH has studied the issue. Several home-rule suburbs including Evanston, Oak Park, and Buffalo Grove restrict or ban flavored e-cigarette sales.
Illinois has no statewide flavored tobacco ban. Cook County Code Ch. 74 imposes tax but no flavor restriction. The Cook County Board has discussed proposals from CCDPH and the American Lung Association but none have advanced to ordinance. Several Cook County home-rule suburbs have passed local flavor restrictions: Evanston banned flavored e-cigarette sales (2020), Oak Park restricted flavored vape near schools, and Buffalo Grove prohibits menthol and flavored sales at most retailers. Non-home-rule suburbs are limited to enforcing state and county rules.
No countywide penalty applies. Suburb-specific bans typically impose retailer fines $250 to $1,000 per violation plus license suspension after repeat offenses.
