Beginning Friday, 01 January 2016, tobacco products, including the popular e-cigarettes, will only be sold to those who are 21 years or older.  Appropriate signs will be posted in stores throughout the state. If you are buying tobacco or e-cigarette products, be prepared to show personal identification to prove your age.  E-cigarettes will be subject to the same restrictions imposed on tobacco products.  Aloha, Russ.
