What the record says

Idaho law in force sets only the baseline for electronic smoking devices: sale to anyone under 21 is unlawful (Idaho Code 39-5702(9), 39-5705), retailers need a Department of Health and Welfare permit (39-5704), sales must be vendor-assisted with no self-service displays (39-5706), and delivery sales require a permit endorsement, age verification before shipping, tax registration and monthly reports (39-5714 to 39-5718). Local rules stricter than the chapter are preempted (39-5713). There is no flavor ban, no vapor tax and no product list: the 2025 illegal electronic smoking device brand list bill (H0244) was held in committee and Idaho Code has no section 39-5719.

Controlling language, verbatim

It shall be unlawful to sell, distribute, or offer tobacco products or electronic smoking devices to a minor.
