Any store selling tobacco, smoking hemp, vapor products, or smokeless nicotine products must post a sign (at least 93.5 square inches) at each checkout point stating that state law prohibits sales to anyone under 21 and that proof of age may be required. This is the only notice about these products required by state law unless federal law requires something different.
