North Carolina regulates retail sale of vapor products and e-cigarettes under NCGS 14-313, requiring age verification, licensure under NCGS 105-113, and compliance with federal Tobacco 21 standards.
Retailers selling vapor products and e-cigarettes must verify purchaser age (21 or older) for any sale, comply with NCGS 14-313 prohibitions on furnishing tobacco-derived products to minors, and obtain tobacco product licenses through the NC Department of Revenue under NCGS Chapter 105. Self-service displays of vapor products are generally restricted except in adult-only establishments. Online retailers must use age-verification services. Local governments may not impose additional licensure beyond what state law authorizes, though zoning rules can apply to retail locations.
Selling vapor products to a person under 21 is a Class 2 misdemeanor under NCGS 14-313 with escalating fines for repeat violations and potential license revocation.
