California requires statewide licensing of tobacco and vape retailers under the STAKE Act and the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Licensing Act. Business and Professions Code 22970 establishes uniform retailer licensing, while local governments may adopt stricter rules.
The Cigarette and Tobacco Products Licensing Act of 2003 (Bus & Prof Code 22970-22991) requires every California retailer selling tobacco or vapor products to obtain a state license through the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. The STAKE Act (Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement) under Bus & Prof Code 22950-22963 sets statewide minimum standards for retailer compliance, signage, and youth access prevention. Localities may impose additional licensing or stricter zoning, but cannot lower state standards. Penalties include license suspension, revocation, and civil fines escalating with repeat violations.
First violations may incur fines starting at $400-$600; repeat violations bring escalating fines and license suspension or revocation under Bus & Prof Code 22958.
