At the national level, vape vending falls under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act and is regulated by the FDA, classifying e-cigarettes and vaping products as tobacco products. Compliance with federal rules establishes the minimum legal standard for operation.

State laws often go further than federal requirements and can differ widely. Common rules include:

• Retail licenses or tobacco vending permits
• Collection of nicotine excise taxes
• On-site supervision requirements
• Restrictions on machine placement, especially near schools or youth-accessible areas
