Vape retailers in Plano must hold a Texas Comptroller e-cigarette permit and follow the city smoke-free ordinance, which extends to vapor products in enclosed public places, restaurants, bars, and most workplaces.
Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 147 requires every retailer of e-cigarettes and consumable vapor products to hold a state permit issued by the Comptroller, with annual renewal and a posted permit at each location. Plano enforces a comprehensive smoke-free ordinance covering enclosed public places, restaurants, bars, workplaces, and indoor common areas of multi-unit housing. The smoke-free rule has been applied to e-cigarettes and vapor products as well as combustible tobacco. Retailers must also display required signage warning of age restrictions and health risks. Sampling inside non-adult-only stores is prohibited. Vape shops typically register as adult-only retailers to allow in-store demos to customers age 21 or older.
Selling vape products without a state permit, allowing indoor vaping in a covered enclosed location, or failing to post required signage can lead to permit suspension, daily city smoke-free citations, and Comptroller enforcement under Chapter 147.
