New York requires state retail registration for every tobacco and vapor product seller and bans online or mail-order shipment of vape products directly to consumers statewide.
Public Health Law Article 13-F requires every retailer of tobacco, vapor, or liquid nicotine products to register with the Department of Taxation and Finance and post a Tax Department certificate. Tax Law § 1399-ll prohibits common carriers and retailers from shipping vape products to non-licensed consumers. Pharmacies are barred from selling tobacco and vapor products under Public Health Law § 1399-cc. The state also taxes vapor products at 20 percent at retail. Localities can add stricter zoning or licensing but cannot weaken these standards.
Unregistered retail sales carry civil fines up to $300 per offense and risk loss of the tobacco retail registration; pharmacy violations may bring license discipline.
