Missouri has no statewide ban on flavored tobacco or vapor products. State tobacco sales rules (RSMo 407.925 to 407.934) set age and signage standards but say nothing about flavors, leaving flavor policy to federal FDA rules and, potentially, local action.
Unlike several states, Missouri does not prohibit menthol cigarettes, flavored cigars, or flavored vapor products. Missouri's tobacco sales statutes (RSMo 407.925 to 407.934) address minimum age, ID defenses, and warning signage but do not restrict flavors. Federal FDA rules continue to ban most flavored cartridge-based e-cigarette products other than tobacco and menthol, and those federal rules apply in Missouri. Missouri's tobacco preemption is narrower than its firearms preemption, and no statute clearly bars a local flavor ordinance; a few municipalities have considered restrictions, but enforceable, comprehensive local flavor bans remain uncommon.
Selling federally banned flavored cartridge e-cigarettes can trigger FDA enforcement. Violations of Missouri's tobacco sales rules bring clerk fines starting at $25 and escalating with repeat offenses.
