Maryland requires Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) retailer licensure through the Comptroller. Baltimore zoning limits vape shops near schools and concentrates them under conditional-use review.
Maryland §16-7-101+ requires every retailer of electronic smoking devices, e-liquid, and ENDS to hold a state license issued by the Comptroller of Maryland. Baltimore zoning under TransForm Code Article 32 treats stand-alone vape shops as a regulated use, with conditional-use review and minimum distance separation from K-12 schools. Mall kiosks, gas stations, and convenience retailers selling vapes must hold the same Comptroller license. Annual license renewal triggers a compliance review of underage-sale citations. Online sales shipping to Baltimore addresses require age verification at delivery and Maryland tax remittance. Self-service displays of vape products are prohibited; products must be behind the counter.
Operating without a Comptroller ENDS license is a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000 per day plus license forfeiture and seizure of inventory.
