North Dakota does not impose a statewide ban on flavored tobacco or vape products under NDCC 51-01.5, leaving sales subject to federal rules and limited local authority.
North Dakota law does not currently prohibit the sale of flavored tobacco, menthol cigarettes, or flavored electronic smoking devices. Retail sales are governed by NDCC 51-01.5, which focuses on age verification, licensing, and self-service restrictions rather than flavor categories. Federal rules from the Food and Drug Administration restrict certain flavored cartridge-based e-cigarettes, and those rules apply in North Dakota. Local governments retain limited authority to adopt stricter retail standards consistent with the statewide framework, though no major North Dakota city has adopted a flavor ban as of recent legislative sessions.
Selling federally restricted flavored cartridge e-cigarettes can lead to FDA enforcement and loss of state retail licensing for repeat offenders. Violations of NDCC 51-01.5 licensing or age rules tied to flavored sales follow the standard tobacco penalty schedule. Local ordinances inconsistent with state law may be challenged as preempted.
