In Nevada, you must be 21 years old to buy any tobacco or vaping product, including cigarettes, cigars, e‑cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco.

Quick Scoop

  • Legal age to buy tobacco in Nevada: 21 years old.
  • This applies to all tobacco and nicotine products (cigarettes, vapes, cigars, smokeless, etc.).
  • Retailers are required to verify age and cannot sell to anyone under 21.

Extra details you should know

  • The age was raised to 21 to match federal “Tobacco 21” law, which took effect nationwide on December 20, 2019.
