Florida requires retailers to hold a Tobacco Products Permit issued by the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. Miami-Dade Code Chapter 17B regulates cigarette and vape vending machines, prohibiting placement where minors have unsupervised access. Local zoning controls smoke-shop and vape-shop locations.
Under FL §569.003, every retail dealer of tobacco and nicotine products must obtain a Retail Tobacco Products Permit from the Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco (ABT) and renew annually. Miami-Dade Chapter 17B further regulates vending machines, banning placement where persons under 21 have unsupervised access, in line with federal FDA restrictions. Smoke shops and vape stores are zoned through unincorporated Miami-Dade business districts (BU-1, BU-2, BU-3) and may face distance buffers from schools under city zoning, though product-specific bans are preempted. Federal Synar program-related compliance checks are coordinated with FDOH and ABT.
Operating without an ABT permit, selling to minors, or violating Chapter 17B vending placement rules can lead to administrative fines and permit suspension by the state.
