Idaho does not ban flavored tobacco or vapor products at the state level, and local flavor bans face significant preemption questions under the statewide tobacco licensing framework in Idaho Code Title 39 Chapter 57.
Idaho has not enacted a statewide ban on flavored tobacco, menthol cigarettes, or flavored e-liquids. The Idaho Tobacco Tax Act (Idaho Code Title 63 Chapter 25) and the youth-access provisions in Title 39 Chapter 57 do not prohibit flavors but require Tobacco-21 age limits and retail permits. Federal law restricts flavored cartridge-based e-cigarettes (excluding tobacco and menthol), but standalone flavored disposables and bottled e-liquids remain legal in Idaho when sold to adults. While Idaho does not have express tobacco-product preemption like firearms preemption, statewide licensing creates conflicts when cities try to ban categories of legally taxed and licensed products. As of 2026, no Idaho city has enacted a comprehensive flavor ban.
Selling federally restricted cartridge-flavored e-cigarettes can trigger FDA enforcement and state permit consequences. Sales to minors remain a misdemeanor.
