New Jersey regulates vape retailers under NJSA 54:40B and NJSA 26:3D, requiring licensing, prohibiting flavored vape sales, and applying age-21 minimum purchase rules statewide.
Vape retailers in New Jersey must register with the Division of Taxation and collect the wholesale tax on electronic smoking devices and liquid nicotine. Beginning in 2020, NJSA 54:40B and related statutes prohibit retail sale of flavored vapor products other than tobacco flavor, with limited exceptions for licensed vapor lounges meeting specific requirements. Retailers must verify identification, post required signage, and prevent sales to anyone under 21. Local enforcement coordinates with the Division of Taxation and Department of Health. Online and remote sales of vape products to New Jersey consumers must comply with state licensing and tax rules.
Unlicensed vape sales or sale to minors carry civil penalties up to $1,000 for first offense and $2,000 for subsequent violations, plus potential license revocation.
