Age-Verification & Youth-Prevention Policy

Stokes Picks is committed to preventing youth access to our products. Our site, marketing and sales are for adults 21+ only. This page explains how we check age, what we store and how we keep our marketing away from young people.

NICOTINE WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. For adults 21+ only.

Who may purchase

  • You must be 21 years of age or older to use this site, place an order or receive our products.
  • By using the site and placing an order you confirm that you are 21 or older and that the information you give us is accurate.
  • You may not buy our products for anyone under 21.

How we check age

  1. Age gate on entry. Before you can browse, we ask whether you are 21 or older. If you answer no, you see a short message and cannot enter the site.
  2. Confirmation at checkout. You confirm again that you are 21 or older and enter your date of birth. Our server checks the date, and anyone under 21 cannot complete the order.
  3. Adult signature at delivery. In states that require it, the carrier asks for a government-issued photo ID and a signature from someone 21 or older before releasing the package. Packages are not left unattended or released to minors there. If no eligible adult is available, the carrier may try again or return the package, and reship fees may apply. See our State Shipping Restrictions page for the list.
  4. Order review. We review orders for signs of fraud, straw purchases or attempted youth access. We may cancel orders, block accounts and report suspicious activity.

What we store

  • We keep the fact that you confirmed you are 21 or older, the time of that confirmation and the IP address used. We do not store your date of birth.
  • Card numbers are handled by our payment processor and never stored by us.
  • See our Privacy Policy for the full picture of what we collect and why.

Youth prevention in marketing

  • Our advertising targets adults 21 and older. We do not use cartoons, youth-oriented imagery, candy or dessert-style branding, or influencers whose audience is mainly under 21.
  • We do not sell on marketplaces or through resellers who do not check age.
  • Our marketing emails go only to people who asked for them, and every email has an unsubscribe link.
  • Wholesale partners must check government-issued ID and sell only to adults 21 and older. See our Wholesale Retailer Terms.

Responsible use

  • Keep products out of reach of children and pets.
  • Do not share or resell products to anyone under 21.
  • Read the Nicotine Warning page before use.

Reporting a concern

If you believe a minor has obtained our products, or you have seen our marketing somewhere it should not be, email [email protected]. We investigate every report.

Changes

We update this policy as laws and our practices change. The latest version is always on this page.
