What the record says

K.S.A. 79-3321 bars selling cigarettes, electronic cigarettes or tobacco products to anyone under 21, and K.S.A. 79-3303 requires a license for each place of business selling cigarettes or electronic cigarettes. K.S.A. 79-3399 taxes e-cigarette consumable material at $0.05 per milliliter. Kansas has no statewide flavor ban and no vapor directory; SB 355 (2026), which would have licensed e-cigarette manufacturers and restricted youth-appealing packaging, died. The face-to-face rule in 79-3321(z) covers cigarettes, smokeless and roll-your-own tobacco, not electronic cigarettes; the federal PACT Act governs delivery sales.

Controlling language, verbatim

(l) To sell, furnish or distribute cigarettes, electronic cigarettes or tobacco products to any person under 21 years of age.
