Purchase cigarettes, pipe tobacco, cigars and chewing tobacco at your local smoke shop, drugstore or grocery store. You must provide a valid driver's license or state-issued ID to prove that you are 18 or older in order to buy tobacco products. It is legal to buy cigarettes and other tobacco products online if you are older than 18, but it is illegal not to pay your state taxes on these cigarettes, as this is considered tax evasion. Proof of age will be required when online cigarettes are delivered to your door.

Buy electronic cigarettes or nicotine inhalers at your local smoke shop or online.

This will allow the pure nicotine to absorb into your body without the other negative effects of tobacco. You will be asked for proof of age both online and at smoke shops. You must be 18 to purchase and use electronic cigarettes or nicotine inhalers.
