Vermont requires retailers selling electronic cigarettes and vape products to obtain a tobacco license and follow strict labeling and age verification rules. Burlington vape shops must comply with state retail and tax requirements.
Vermont treats electronic cigarettes and vape liquids as tobacco substitutes under 7 V.S.A. Chapter 40. Burlington vape and smoke shops must obtain a tobacco substitute retail license from the Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery and remit the state's vape excise tax. Online and mail-order sales to Vermont consumers require a separate license, age verification at delivery, and adult signature on receipt. Self-service displays of vape products are prohibited. Retailers must keep products behind the counter or in locked cases accessible only by staff.
Operating without a license, missing tax remittance, or selling without age verification results in fines, license suspension, and product seizure by state inspectors.
