IT’S THE LAW!

Hawaii law (HRS §712-1258) prohibits the sale of all tobacco products, including electronic smoking devices also known as e-cigarettes or vaping products, to anyone under the age of 21 years. Retailers and their clerks must: • Post legal signage at or near the point of sale where tobacco products or electronic smoking devices are sold. • Check photo ID of everyone under the age of 27 who attempts to purchase any tobacco product. • Only sell tobacco products to customers aged 21 and over. DO NOT SELL TOBACCO PRODUCTS OR ELECTRONIC SMOKING DEVICES TO ANYONE UNDER 21
