Missouri RSMo 407.927 governs the sale of tobacco, alternative nicotine, and vapor products, requiring age verification and aligning state retail standards with federal Tobacco 21 limits.
RSMo 407.927 prohibits the sale or distribution of tobacco products, alternative nicotine products, and vapor products to persons under age 21, mirroring federal law. Retailers must verify identification for purchasers under 30 and post required warning signs at points of sale. Vending machine sales are restricted to locations where minors are not permitted. Self-service displays for vapor products are limited in places open to youth. Localities are constrained from creating retail licensing schemes that conflict with state law, though they retain limited enforcement authority. Online and remote sellers shipping to Missouri must implement age verification and signature on delivery for restricted nicotine products.
Selling to underage purchasers is punishable by fines escalating with repeat offenses, and licensing actions may follow. Failure to post signage or verify ID also triggers monetary penalties under RSMo 407.927.
