About vaping in New York
New York is one of the most heavily regulated vape markets in the country, and also one of the biggest in our directory — with the large majority of shops in New York City and its boroughs, and smaller clusters upstate in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany.
The state bans flavoured e-cigarettes, taxes vapour products at retail, and tightly restricts delivery sales. Our New York coverage starts with a dedicated New York City guide.
Vape laws in New York
New York requires purchasers to be 21 or older. In 2020 the state ended the sale of flavoured e-cigarettes — only tobacco-flavoured products may be sold — and it applies a 20% tax on retail sales of vapour products.
New York also restricts how vapour products can be delivered: online and app-based sales face registration and age-verification requirements, and delivery of vapour products to consumers is tightly limited. New York City layers its own local rules on top, including additional licence requirements for retailers.
This is a general summary, not legal advice. Vape laws change often — check the current state statute and local ordinances before acting on anything here.
