Retailers
It is illegal for a retailer to sell any tobacco product – including cigarettes, cigars and e-cigarettes – to anyone under 21.
After July 13, 2022, a non-tobacco nicotine product can only be legally marketed in the United States if it has received a marketing granted order (MGO) from FDA. Without this MGO, a product is in violation of the law and its manufacturer, retailer, distributor, or importer may be subject to FDA enforcement.
