Before distributing any tobacco product, the distributor shall verify that the recipient is at least twenty one (21) years of age. Each distributor shall examine the recipient's government- issued photographic identification. A distributor is not required to verify the age of a person over the age of thirty (30), but that a recipient appeared to be thirty (30) years of age or older shall not constitute a defense to a violation of this section.
