What licenses do I actually need to open a vape store?

[lamywaby]

Hey everyone,

I am seriously considering opening a vape and e-cigarette retail store in my city and I am completely lost when it comes to the licensing side of things.

I know a general business license is required, but does a vape store need anything beyond that?

Things like a tobacco retail license, age verification compliance certification, or any FDA registration? Do requirements vary a lot by state or country?

Has anyone here gone through this process and can share what was involved?

Any advice would be really appreciated before I invest too much time into this idea.
