Maine regulates electronic smoking device retailers under 22 MRS section 1551-A and Title 22 chapter 263, requiring licensure, ID checks, and compliance with sale restrictions.
Maine treats electronic smoking devices as tobacco products under 22 MRS section 1551-A, requiring retailers to obtain a Maine tobacco retail license and verify customer age. Sales are limited to licensed brick-and-mortar locations with strict rules on online and remote sales after 2019 reforms. Retailers must check ID for buyers appearing under 30, post required signage, and follow product registration requirements. Local boards of health may inspect, and Maine Revenue Services administers tobacco tax compliance for vape products.
Violations may result in fines, license suspension, or revocation; selling to minors carries escalating civil penalties up to $1,500 per violation.
