Federal law requires all vaping product buyers to be 21+. Learn how our age verification works, what to do if it fails, and why it's required.

<h2 id="why-we-verify-your-age">Why We Verify Your Age</h2>
<p>Federal law requires that all customers purchasing vaping and tobacco products be 21 years of age or older. SmokTek takes this requirement seriously and verifies the age of every customer before completing a purchase.</p>
<h2 id="how-age-verification-works">How Age Verification Works</h2>
<p>We use an automated age verification system at checkout. This system cross-references the information you provide &#x2014; your name, address, and date of birth &#x2014; against public records to confirm you are 21 or older. This process happens instantly in the background.</p>
<h2 id="what-to-do-if-verification-fails">What to Do if Verification Fails</h2>
<p>If the system is unable to verify your age, your order may be held or declined. This can happen for several reasons:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your billing address doesn&apos;t match your records &#x2014; for example, if you recently moved.</li>
<li>Your name is entered differently than it appears in public records (nickname vs. legal name).</li>
<li>You have a limited public records history &#x2014; common for younger adults who are still 21+.</li>
</ul>
<p>If your verification fails, contact us at <a href="mailto:support@smoktek.com">support@smoktek.com</a> with your order number.</p>
<h2 id="the-federal-minimum-age-is-21">The Federal Minimum Age Is 21</h2>
<p>The federal minimum age to purchase tobacco and vaping products in the United States is 21, established by the Tobacco Control Act. This applies nationwide regardless of any other age thresholds in your state. SmokTek does not make exceptions to this requirement.</p>
<h2 id="your-privacy">Your Privacy</h2>
<p>SmokTek does not receive or store your full Social Security Number or sensitive financial data through the age verification process. The system only checks that the information you&apos;ve provided matches records for an adult 21 or older.</p>
