Vape shops in Fargo must follow the state Tobacco 21 law and the Fargo Smoke-Free Ordinance Chapter 23-1011, which bans vaping in indoor workplaces and most public places along with traditional smoking.
Fargo passed its smoke-free ordinance, codified at Chapter 23 §23-1011 of the Fargo Municipal Code, before North Dakota voters approved a statewide smoke-free workplace law in 2012. The local rule, read together with state law at NDCC chapter 23-12, prohibits smoking and use of electronic smoking devices in indoor workplaces, restaurants, bars, and most enclosed public places. Vape retailers may allow product sampling only in narrow circumstances. Sales remain restricted to age 21 and over under NDCC §12.1-31-03, and FCPH conducts retail compliance checks targeting both traditional tobacco and vape products.
Retailers and venues that allow vaping in prohibited indoor spaces or sell to underage buyers face fines, license consequences, and FCPH enforcement actions.
