Tobacco Sales Policy

Wantagh Dairy Mart sells tobacco and vaping products in strict compliance with federal law and New York State law. This policy explains the rules we follow every time — no exceptions.

You must be 21 or older

Federal law and New York State law require you to be at least 21 years of age to buy any tobacco or vaping product. We do not sell these products to anyone under 21, regardless of the reason.

We check ID

We ask for a valid, government-issued photo ID (such as a driver's license, state ID, or passport) from every customer who appears to be under 30. If you cannot show valid ID, we cannot complete the sale. Please have your ID ready at the window.

Products covered

• Cigarettes, cigars, and cigarillos
• Chewing tobacco, snuff, and other smokeless tobacco
• Electronic cigarettes, vapes, and vaping liquids
• Rolling papers, wraps, and related accessories

No purchases on behalf of minors

It is illegal to buy tobacco or vaping products for anyone under 21. We will refuse any sale we reasonably believe is intended for a minor, including "proxy" purchases made by an adult on a minor's behalf.

Our right to refuse a sale

We reserve the right to refuse the sale of tobacco or vaping products to any person at any time, including when ID is missing, appears altered or invalid, or when we have reason to believe the products are for someone underage.

Legal compliance

These sales are conducted in accordance with the U.S. Tobacco 21 law and New York State Public Health Law, including the Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act (ATUPA). We take our responsibility to our community seriously and appreciate your cooperation.
