Minn. Stat. 609.685 defines an electronic delivery device as any product delivering nicotine or another substance, natural or synthetic, by inhaled aerosol or vapor, and bars selling one to anyone under 21. Sellers need a county or city license (461.12), kiosk and most self-service sales are barred (461.18, 461.21), and nicotine e-liquid must be in child-resistant packaging (461.20). Nicotine solution products are tobacco products taxed at 95 percent of wholesale (297F.01 subd. 19, 297F.05), and delivery sales need ID checks and adult-signature delivery (325F.781). No statewide flavor ban or FDA-authorization directory was found in the 2026 statutes; local rules may be stricter (461.19).
