Q: What is a "Vapor Product"?
A: According to Arizona law (A.R.S. §13-3622), "Vapor product" means a noncombustible, tobacco-derived product containing nicotine that employs a mechanical heating element, battery or circuit, regardless of shape or size, that can be used to heat a liquid nicotine solution contained in cartridges.
Q: Are vape pens/e-cigarettes legal to smoke at 18 in Arizona?
A: Under Arizona law, no. People cannot buy vapes or other tobacco products at age 18. The minimum legal age to purchase these products is 21. This is because a federal law passed in 2019, known as the “Tobacco 21” (T21) law, raised the minimum age to 21 nationwide. Arizona law now matches that standard (A.R.S. §13-3622).
