Virginia requires retail tobacco and liquid nicotine sellers to comply with state licensing under Code 58.1-1021.04:1 and prohibits sales to anyone under 21 per Code 18.2-371.2.
Virginia retailers selling vapor products and liquid nicotine must register with the Department of Taxation and remit excise tax on nicotine vapor products at $0.066 per milliliter under Code 58.1-1021.04:1. Sellers must verify purchaser age, restrict access to minors, post required signage, and follow child-resistant packaging rules referenced in Code 18.2-371.2. Localities are preempted from imposing additional retail licensing schemes beyond state framework, although general business zoning remains valid.
Selling tobacco or vapor products to anyone under 21 is a Class 2 misdemeanor, with civil penalties up to $100 for a first offense and up to $500 for subsequent offenses under Code 18.2-371.2. Failure to register or remit vapor excise tax can result in tax assessments, interest, and license revocation.
