Age Verification Helps Protects Adult Access to Alternative Nicotine Products

At Mi-Pod, we are committed to protecting adult access to smoke-free and ash-free alternatives to combustible cigarettes. Preventing underage sales is a critical part of that mission. When businesses enforce strict age-verification policies and refuse sales to minors, it helps safeguard the future availability of alternative nicotine products for the adults who choose to use them.

Whether you operate a brick-and-mortar store or an eCommerce page, ID verification is essential for staying compliant with age-restricted sales laws. Using an ID scanner or verification software ensures authenticity, prevents fake IDs, and confirms customers are of legal age before purchasing products like alcohol, tobacco, or vapor devices.

Below you’ll find resources to help your business stay compliant and responsible when it comes to age-restricted product sales.
