Identification Required To Purchase Tobacco Products Under 30

The new restrictions apply to sales of traditional tobacco products as well as e-cigarettes.

The FDA has now established a rule that will require any retailer that sells tobacco products to check identification of any buyers under the age of 30.

The new age is up from the previous limit of 27.

The rule also restricts tobacco vending machine sales to spaces that are limited to people 21 and older.

The main goal of the change is to make it harder for underage people to get access to these products.
