Rhode Island regulates electronic nicotine delivery system retailers under RIGL Chapter 23-20.10, requiring licenses, age verification, and compliance with statewide flavor restrictions on vapor products.
Retailers selling electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) and vapor products must hold a state license under RIGL Chapter 23-20.10 and comply with packaging, labeling, and youth-access requirements. Rhode Island enacted a flavored vapor product ban via executive action and subsequent regulation, restricting the sale of flavored e-cigarettes other than tobacco. Retailers must verify age for all purchases and may not sell to anyone under 21 under RIGL 11-9-13.4. Online sales are restricted, and shipping to consumers is regulated under tobacco delivery statutes. Department of Health inspections and Department of Taxation enforcement support compliance.
Selling vapor products without a license or in violation of flavor restrictions can lead to fines, license suspension or revocation, and seizure of inventory under Chapter 23-20.10 enforcement provisions.
