You must be 21 or older to enter this website, to enter the shop, and to buy tobacco products, nicotine products, or nicotine dispensing devices (including e-cigarettes, vapes, e-liquid, and similar products). This follows federal Tobacco 21 and Florida Statutes Chapter 569 (including ss. 569.11, 569.101, 569.41, 569.42).

THE SALE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS, NICOTINE PRODUCTS, OR NICOTINE DISPENSING DEVICES TO PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 21 IS AGAINST FLORIDA LAW. PROOF OF AGE IS REQUIRED FOR PURCHASE.

No online tobacco or nicotine sales

This website does not sell, ship, mail, or take online orders for tobacco or nicotine products. There is no cart and no checkout. Florida delivery-sale rules (s. 569.45) are not used here because we do not make delivery sales. Buy in person at the Fort Pierce shop only.

We do not give sample tobacco products (s. 569.0075).

FDA nicotine warning (21 CFR 1143.3)

Advertising for covered tobacco products that contain nicotine, including many vape and e-liquid products, must carry: WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. That warning is on this site. Nicotine is addictive. These products are not a safe alternative to cigarettes. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The FDA has not evaluated statements on this site as medical claims. Keep all tobacco and nicotine products out of reach of children and pets. Nicotine can harm an unborn baby. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless a doctor tells you otherwise.

We do not claim that vaping or any product helps you quit smoking.

Pipes, glass, and smoking devices (s. 569.0073)

Glass, pipes, and similar accessories are sold only as tobacco accessories for lawful tobacco use by adults 21+. They are not sold for use with illegal controlled substances.

Kratom and other shop items

If kratom or similar botanicals are on the shelf, they are not FDA-approved to treat any condition. They may be harmful. 21+ only. Not for use by anyone who is pregnant, nursing, or under 21. Follow the label. Ask the counter what is in stock. Local rules may apply.

Pokemon TCG (coming soon)

Pokemon TCG, if and when offered, is trading cards and sealed card product - not tobacco and not nicotine. Pokemon is a trademark of Nintendo / Creatures / GAME FREAK / The Pokemon Company. This shop is still 21+ to enter. We do not use Pokemon to sell nicotine or tobacco.

Permits

Florida retail tobacco and nicotine sales require the proper Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco dealer permits. Ask at the shop if you need permit information. This page does not list permit numbers.

Health and indoor air

There is no safe tobacco product. Florida restricts smoking and vaping in many indoor workplaces (ch. 386). Follow posted shop rules.
