Hawaii regulates retail sales of electronic smoking devices and e-liquid under HRS Chapter 245 and 712-1258, requiring retailer permits, age verification, and packaging standards for all vape products sold in the state.
HRS 245-2.5 requires every retailer of tobacco products and electronic smoking devices to obtain a retail tobacco permit from the Department of Taxation. Sales of e-cigarettes, vape pens, and e-liquid are subject to the same age verification rules as combustible tobacco under HRS 712-1258, which sets the minimum sale age at 21. Retailers must verify identification for any purchaser appearing under 30. Online sales to Hawaii consumers must comply with PACT Act registration and Hawaii excise reporting. Retailers face permit suspension or revocation, plus tax penalties, for unlicensed sales. Counties have layered additional ordinances regulating where vape shops may operate and proximity to schools.
Selling vape products without a permit or to underage purchasers carries fines up to $2,000 plus permit revocation under HRS 245.
