Sioux Falls does not ban flavored tobacco or vape products; only the FDA federal restrictions on certain cartridge-based e-cigarette flavors apply within South Dakota.
South Dakota has not enacted a state flavored tobacco ban, and Sioux Falls has not adopted a local flavor restriction. The state generally regulates tobacco licensing through SDCL Chapter 10-50 and the SD Department of Revenue. The federal Food and Drug Administration restricts certain flavored cartridge-based e-cigarettes, which applies in Sioux Falls because it is federal law. Menthol cigarettes, flavored cigars, disposable vapes, and most flavored vape liquids remain legal for sale to adults 21 and over. Local public health advocates have proposed restrictions but no Sioux Falls City Council action has been adopted.
There is no city flavor ban to violate. Selling FDA-restricted cartridge e-cigarette flavors, or selling any flavored tobacco to anyone under 21, remains a federal and state violation.
