However, these products are not subject to excise taxes imposed by the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Law, and retailers will not be required to maintain purchase invoices or obtain these products from a BOE licensed cigarette or tobacco products distributor or wholesaler. This licensing requirement does not apply to cannabis-related vaping devices that are sold in properly licensed cannabis dispensaries.<\/p>\n<p>Sellers of eCigarettes, vaping devices and other related products should also have a California Seller\u2019s Permit. Retailers can register for the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Retailer\u2019s License online at www.boe.ca.gov.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning January 1, 2017, anyone found selling or gifting any of these products without obtaining a valid license is in violation of the law and subject to a misdemeanor citation and seizure of inventory.
