What the record says

Idaho regulates oral nicotine pouches under its minors' access chapter, whose definition of tobacco product or electronic smoking device covers any substance containing, made of, or derived from tobacco or nicotine (Idaho Code 39-5702(18)), so synthetic-nicotine pouches are included. Sale to anyone under 21 is unlawful (39-5705), retailers need a Department of Health and Welfare permit (39-5704), and delivery sales need a permit endorsement, age verification and tax registration (39-5714 to 39-5718). Local rules stricter than the chapter are preempted (39-5713). No flavor ban, registry or pouch tax is in force; a 2026 bill on nicotine product permits and tax (H0884) was not enacted.
