What is the law regarding tobacco sales to minors?
Tobacco products cannot be sold to anyone under 19 years of age in Nassau County. Vendors who sell tobacco products are required to check the ID (a state issued drivers license, a Department of Motor Vehicles issued non-driver ID, military ID or passport are the required forms of ID) of all people who want to purchase tobacco products, if they appear to be younger than 25 years of age. Federal guidelines suggest asking for ID from any person who appears to be 27 years old, or younger.
