Colorado requires retailers selling cigarettes, vapor products, and other tobacco items to obtain a state retail tobacco license and follow strict point-of-sale rules.
Under C.R.S. 44-7-104.5, effective July 1, 2021, all retailers selling cigarettes, tobacco, or nicotine products must hold a Colorado retailer license issued by the Department of Revenue's Liquor and Tobacco Enforcement Division. Vape products are licensed alongside traditional tobacco. Retailers must verify ID for younger buyers, post required signage, and prevent self-service displays except in adult-only stores. Local jurisdictions may impose additional licensing fees, density caps, and proximity rules. Ongoing compliance checks include youth decoy operations.
First violation typically results in a $250 fine; repeat violations may include license suspension, revocation, and fines up to $15,000.
