Vape Product Page Facts Checklist for 2026

A practical, adult-focused checklist for building or reviewing vape product pages in US retail environments in 2026. Focuses on decision points—ID and age verification, factual labeling prompts, clear calls not to market to minors, and jurisdiction-aware reminders. This is informational only, not legal advice.

## Quick overview Use this vape product page facts checklist to create or review product pages for adult retail contexts in the United States in 2026. The checklist focuses on factual, compliance-oriented content you can display to adult shoppers and store staff without making health or safety claims. It is for adult retail use only; do not market to minors. This guidance is informational and is not legal advice.

## Core decision points (what to include on the page) - Age statement: Prominently state the sales age requirement: customers must be 21 or older. (Per federal guidance.) - ID policy prompt: Note that staff should request photo ID when a purchaser appears under 30. Present a short line such as: “Photo ID required if under 30.” - Local rules notice: Add a clear line that state or local rules may be more restrictive than federal rules and that store policy will follow the strictest applicable law. - Product facts (factual only): Provide manufacturer-supplied, non-medical product facts such as flavor descriptors, nicotine concentration labels as given by the manufacturer, package dimensions, and battery specifications if provided by the maker. Avoid claims about safety, reduced harm, or clinical effectiveness. - No marketing to minors: Include an explicit statement that the product is for adults 21+. Avoid imagery, language, or color schemes that could appeal to underage audiences.

## Interface and UX decisions - Age gate and verification: Use an upfront age gate that asks users to confirm they are 21+. For in-store terminals or kiosks, reinforce with a staff-managed ID check policy. - Visibility and hierarchy: Place age and ID requirements near the price and buy buttons so they are visible at the point of decision. - Accurate labels: Ensure nicotine content and any federally required warnings are visible in the product description area if provided by the manufacturer.

## Staff and retail operations prompts - Train staff to check IDs for anyone appearing under 30. - Keep a written store policy referencing state and local regulations and a record of staff training dates. This is a practical operational step, not a legal guarantee.

## Checklist summary (decision flow) 1. Is the product page limited to viewers who confirm they are 21+? If no, implement an age gate. 2. Is there a visible age requirement and ID-check line near purchase controls? If no, add it. 3. Are product descriptions factual and free of health/safety claims? If no, remove any non-factual wording. 4. Does the page flag that local rules may be stricter? If no, add a jurisdiction notice. 5. Do staff training notes exist for ID checks under 30? If no, schedule a training.

## Jurisdiction and legal note This checklist is written for US adult retail contexts only.
