Colorado requires retailers selling cigarettes, vapor products, and other tobacco items to obtain a state retail tobacco license and follow strict point-of-sale rules.
Under CRS 44-7-103 and related provisions, all retailers selling tobacco or nicotine products must hold a Colorado tobacco retailer license issued by the Department of Revenue. Vape products are taxed and licensed alongside traditional tobacco. Retailers must verify ID for any buyer appearing under 30, post required signage, and prevent self-service displays except in adult-only stores. Local jurisdictions may impose additional licensing fees, density caps, and proximity rules. Ongoing compliance checks include youth decoy operations.
First violation typically results in a $250 fine; repeat violations may include license suspension, revocation, and fines up to $15,000.
