Florida vape and e-cigarette retailers must hold a Retail Tobacco Products Dealer permit from the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco under FL §569.003, comply with age-21 sales rules, and pass periodic compliance checks at Orlando locations.
FL §569.003 requires every Orlando shop selling vape products, e-liquid, disposable pens, or other nicotine alternatives to obtain a Retail Tobacco Products Dealer permit from the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. Permits are issued per location with annual renewal and a nominal fee. Retailers must verify age 21, post FL §877.112 notices, and maintain product behind the counter or in adult-only sections. ABT inspectors run undercover compliance checks; failed checks trigger administrative fines escalating to license suspension and revocation. Orlando cannot impose flavor-based or local zoning rules beyond pharmacy parity, but can apply standard zoning, sign, and parking requirements to vape shops as it would any retail use.
Selling vape products without an ABT Retail Tobacco Products Dealer permit, or failing age-21 compliance checks, triggers fines, permit suspension, and possible criminal charges under FL §569.005.
