Illinois Says: No Puffs for Young Buffs (Unless You're a Baby Puffin)
Here's the not-so-shocking truth: Illinois, like many other cool states (and some not-so-cool ones, let's be honest), follows the federal law of 21 to vape. That's right, folks. If you haven't reached the age of legally renting a car (without getting serious judgment from your mom), then say goodbye to those flavored vape juices (and hello to, you know, not inhaling questionable substances!).
Why the Age Hike, Bro?
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
Well, folks, vaping isn't exactly sunshine and rainbows. While the jury's still out on the long-term effects, it's clear that it's not exactly a health spa for your lungs. Illinois, along with many other states, is trying to curb teen tobacco use (vaping counts, FYI) to keep young people healthy and steer them clear of potential health risks.
So You're 21 and Fancy a Vape? Here's the Lowdown
Congratulations, you've officially graduated from training wheels to vaping (not that we recommend it, but hey, it's a free country...for adults over 21). Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Tip: Write down what you learned.
- Be ID-Ready: Don't be surprised if stores ask for ID. It's the law, and nobody wants to get in trouble for selling vape products to a teenager who looks suspiciously like they haven't slept since they discovered Minecraft (no shade to Minecrafters, we all have our vices).
- Farewell, Funky Flavors (Mostly): Federal law says no to those super-sweet candy-flavored vapes. Illinois lets menthol slide, but that's about it. Stock up on your favorite boring old tobacco flavor, we guess?
But Officer, What About Online Sales?
The law is sneaky, my friend. Even online retailers gotta follow the age check rule. They might use fancy third-party verification systems, so be prepared to prove you're a legal vaping adult through the power of the internet.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
