South Carolina regulates retail sale of vape and electronic smoking devices through state tobacco licensing and youth-access laws under Title 16 and Title 12.
Retailers selling vapor products and e-cigarettes must follow South Carolina alternative nicotine product laws codified in Title 16, Chapter 17 and tobacco-related licensing under Title 12. Sales to anyone under 21 are prohibited consistent with federal Tobacco 21 standards and Section 16-17-501 amendments. Retailers must verify identification, post required signage, and store products behind counters or otherwise out of self-service reach. State law generally preempts local licensing schemes that conflict with the uniform tobacco regulatory framework, although counties retain limited public health authority.
Selling vape products to minors carries fines starting at one hundred dollars per violation, escalating with repeated infractions and possible permit suspension.
