Bucks County judge extends injunction on kratom sales to minors at smoke shop

Why it matters

The court order concerns retail safeguards for minors and shows how local enforcement can intersect with broader state and federal debates over kratom-derived products. It is a specific civil case, rather than a statewide change in kratom law.

The big picture

Bucks County said the order followed a civil enforcement lawsuit under Pennsylvania consumer-protection law. The release discusses tobacco, alleged controlled-substance sales and kratom products together, while the injunction specifically bars the named retailer from selling tobacco or kratom to minors and requires digital ID scanners for tobacco sales.

Key findings

• A Bucks County judge extended a preliminary injunction involving Zaza Vape & Cigar in Buckingham Township
• The release says the shop may not sell tobacco or kratom to minors while the civil case proceeds
• The order requires digital ID-card scanners for tobacco sales
• The county said an undercover 17-year-old bought a kratom-infused chocolate bar on July 10, 2026 without an ID check
• The lawsuit seeks permanent injunctions, civil penalties and a permanent ban on the sale of controlled substances and kratom at the business

What they say

District Attorney Joe Khan said: “Thanks to the court order, there is now at least one corner of Pennsylvania where kids are safe from kratom peddlers.”

Bottom line

**The extended injunction is a retailer-specific court action focused on preventing sales of kratom products to minors while the Bucks County case moves forward.**
