United StatesWith the “FDA Age Calculator,” retailers can use their personal smartphones to help determine if the purchaser is old enough under federal law to buy tobacco products. Using the camera feature on a smartphone, the app is able to scan the driver’s license of the purchaser to determine if the customer is at least 21 years of age (the federal minimum age to buy a tobacco product). The birthdate listed on the photo id can also be manually entered into the app by the retailer for a quick age calculation. This application is only intended to assist retailers in calculating the age of the purchaser. This application does not check or verify whether an ID is real or authentic. Retailers are responsible for ensuring that they do not sell tobacco products to individuals under 21 years of age. This application does not transmit or share this information or save the information on the user’s device or a third party or government server.
Works fine lacking usefulness
Needs: widgets for Home Screen, actions to go directly to the scan Once I have seen the message and accepted the warning I NEVER NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN!!!! need to be able to get to the camera to scan ID QUICKLY
United StatesDoes what its meant to do
Does a pretty good job or scanning drivers licenses and does it really quick. Love the new version.
United StatesIt doesn’t seem fair
To be 19, having been using nicotine for almost 4 years now, the damage is done. You tried and failed fda. I deserve to be grandfathered in; 18 year olds were allowed to buy alcohol after they changed the age to 21.
United StatesIt’s just wrong...
They can’t even keep up with their own rules, yet they expect us to. The app doesn’t work at all any more since they changed the age overnight and can’t be bothered to update their app. I’m sure that won’t be an excuse when they busy someone for selling cigs to a 19-year-old.
United StatesThe scanner doesn’t work
I open the scanner to scan my id to test but it doesn’t get me anywhere, keep saying put the id in the picture frame and do nothing
United StatesDoesn’t work
Do not rely on this app.
United StatesNeed to update for minimum age of 21.
I’m in Maryland and the minimum age became 21 to purchase tobacco products. At least give us an option...
