It may not be real tobacco. But after January 1, it will cost you real money to sell it.
We’re talking about electronic cigarettes, vaping devices, atomizers, e-juice and other products designed to replace the real thing for those who are tobacco challenged. Under a new state law, anyone selling such items in 2017 will be required to shell out $265 for a Tobacco Products Retailer’s License, renewable annually, from the California State Board of Equalization.
Failure to do so, officials say, could result in a misdemeanor citation and seizure of inventory.
Oh, yes, there are certain exclusions. Perhaps the most glaring: cannabis-related vaping devices sold in properly licensed dispensaries.
