Age Verification & Compliance Policy (21+)
Effective Date: January 1, 2026
On December 20, 2019, the President signed legislation amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, raising the federal minimum age of sale of tobacco products to 21 years across all U.S. states and territories. It is illegal for any retailer to sell tobacco or electronic vapor products to anyone under the age of 21 without exception.
1. Two-Tier Age Verification Process
To ensure compliance and protect youth from unauthorized access, officialfogervape.store utilizes a dual-tier identity verification architecture:
During checkout, your full legal name, residential address, date of birth, and phone number are cross-referenced against billions of public records, credit bureau databases, and government registries via encrypted protocols.
If automated matching cannot establish a 100% confidence score (e.g. recent address relocation or legal name change), the customer is prompted to upload a clear photograph of a valid state-issued driver's license or passport.
2. Adult Signature Required at Delivery (21+)
In compliance with federal PACT Act shipping guidelines, all orders are dispatched via registered logistics couriers requiring an adult signature. The carrier will not release the package without:
- Visual physical inspection of a valid government-issued photo ID establishing age 21+.
- A physical signature from the adult recipient at the delivery address.
3. Prevention of Straw Purchasing & Fraud
Purchasing tobacco or vapor products on behalf of a minor (straw purchasing) is a violation of federal and state laws. Any attempt to use falsified documents, stolen identities, or fraudulent payment methods will result in immediate cancellation of the transaction, permanent blacklisting from our platform, and referral to relevant law enforcement agencies.
4. Responsible Marketing Code
We do not employ cartoon illustrations, youth-oriented influencers, school-targeted advertising, or deceptive health narratives. All marketing is intended strictly for existing adult smokers and vapers who are legally entitled to purchase nicotine alternatives.
