North Dakota regulates electronic smoking device retail under NDCC 51-01.5, requiring licensing, age verification, and compliance with statewide tobacco product retail standards.
Under NDCC 51-01.5, electronic smoking devices, vape liquids, and alternative nicotine products are regulated alongside traditional tobacco. Retailers must hold a valid tobacco license, verify the age of every purchaser appearing under 30, and may not sell through self-service displays except in adult-only stores. Vending machine sales of vape products are prohibited outside age-restricted establishments. Retailers face inspections and compliance checks by the Attorney General. The statute also restricts internet and mail-order sales without proper age verification systems. Local governments may enact stricter retail requirements where consistent with the statewide framework.
Retail sales without a license, sales to minors, or self-service display violations carry civil penalties up to several hundred dollars per offense, escalating with repeat violations. Repeated violations can lead to license suspension or revocation under NDCC 51-01.5-04. Criminal penalties may apply for knowing sales to underage purchasers.
