BIDI®Youth Access Prevention Measures
BIDI VAPOR STANDS STRONGLY AGAINST YOUTH ACCESS TO THE BIDI® STICK!
The rise of underage vaping has become a challenge for the vaping industry. As such, Bidi Vapor ensured stringent measures to verify the identity of each customer and prevent unauthorized access to our BIDI® Sticks by underage vapers.
We do not offer free samples and products through vending machines, and we regularly go through our online content to ensure that we heavily discourage underage followers and only cater to adult vapers and smokers.
We also want to call on you, our wholesalers and direct retailers, to take a stand with us on our advocacy against underage vaping. Being part of the authorized direct retailers and wholesalers of our products, we need you to work with Bidi Vapor as we protect our youth from the dangers of underage vaping.
To assist you in doing this, we need you to sign our Wholesaler & Direct Retailer Agreement. Your salespeople must also require each customer to present a valid government-issued identification card, which indicates their age and other necessary information. You also have the right to put the transaction on hold when in doubt of the customer’s age eligibility.
Responsible Product Marketing
Bidi Vapor Shows How It Should Be Done
Bidi️ Vapor has taken all the necessary steps to combat the rampant underage use of vapor products. Aside from the child-proof packaging and tamper-resistant design, we have implemented security measures to curb underage vape users from accessing the BIDI®️ Stick. We stand by the message that we do not want underage clients to access vape products. With this, Direct Retailers and Wholesalers are required to follow a strict age verification process when making a sale.
Bidi Vapor also consistently implements responsible and conscious marketing techniques to not target and/or engage adolescents in any advertisements and other marketing strategies. This complies with all labeling and packaging regulations set by the government, including addictiveness warning statements of nicotine.
Our BIDI® Stick is exclusively for adult vape users and smokers. It is in no way intended for the use of adolescents and individuals under the age of 21.
Bidi Vapor stays updated and aware of the established prevention campaigns against youth access to vape products and stands firmly by this advocacy. We are deeply committed to upholding and adhering to these regulations from California’s state laws and preventing minors from having access to the BIDI® Stick. We are also actively involved in the prohibition of sales to minors by implementing effective age restrictions, both online and offline. Our strict verification methods help restrict product sales to anyone under the required legal age.
We do our best to prevent underage vaping online since about 86% of underage vape sales come from online purchases. However, Bidi Vapor has less control over offline underage sales; thus, we fully trust our brand partners to implement stringent measures to prevent our youth from accessing the BIDI® Sticks.
Thus, we call upon you to commit fully to preventing underage vaping at the direct retail and wholesale levels. We are deeply thankful for your important role in carrying out and ensuring that our advocacy is in place every step of the way.
Age Verification Efforts
Bidi Vapor takes the issue of underage vaping seriously. On our website, we installed an age-gating pop-up before you can gain access to the webpage. Also, our direct retailers and wholesalers require customers to present a valid government-issued identification card when purchasing BIDI® Stick.
For more information about our age-verification systems for direct retail customers, see here.
For the direct retailer and wholesaler level, we strongly require you to follow the guidelines below:
- Bidi Vapor created a Wholesaler & Direct Retailer Agreement. Direct retailers and wholesalers must sign, which contains the terms on purchasing and reselling the BIDI® Stick. This applies for all Bidi Vapor direct retailers. However, we strongly encourage our wholesalers to aid in any way possible to prevent distribution to minors.
- Based on the terms, you must uphold the age verification process in your stores and commit to checking the customer’s identification before any transaction.
- You have the authority to put the transaction on hold when in doubt or until the customer’s age is verified.
- Mystery Shoppers will be sent to direct retailer shops to check their compliance. Failure to comply will lead to the cancellation of orders and reselling rights.
