How do I become a tobacco products (Cigarettes, Electronic Smoking Devices, and Other Tobacco Products) manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer that operates in Maryland?

To become a licensed tobacco products manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer in Maryland, you must apply for the appropriate licenses from the ATCC, depending on whether you’re involved in manufacturing, distributing, or wholesaling. To become a licensed retailer, you may apply with the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the jurisdiction where your business is located.  Specific licenses are needed to sell cigarettes, Other Tobacco Products (OTP), or Electronic Smoking Devices.
