North Carolina regulates retail sale of vapor products and e-cigarettes under NCGS 14-313 and requires licensure under NCGS Chapter 105, while the federal Tobacco 21 law sets the practical minimum sales age at 21.
Retailers selling vapor products and e-cigarettes must refuse sales to anyone under 21 under federal law, comply with NCGS 14-313 prohibitions on furnishing tobacco-derived and vapor products to those under 18, and obtain tobacco product licenses through the NC Department of Revenue under NCGS Chapter 105. Self-service displays of vapor products are generally restricted except in adult-only establishments. Online retailers must use age-verification services. Local governments may not impose additional licensure beyond what state law authorizes, though zoning rules can apply to retail locations.
Selling vapor products to a person under 18 is a Class 2 misdemeanor under NCGS 14-313; sales to buyers under 21 violate federal Tobacco 21 rules enforced by the FDA, and repeat violations risk license consequences.
