Licensed Wholesale Cigarette Dealers

Licensed cigarette agent-jobbers, sub-jobbers, or vending machine operators. New York City issues one license to act as a wholesale dealer in cigarettes and /or other tobacco product.

NYC agent-jobbers, sub-jobbers, or vending machine operators must have a state license before applying for a city license. You cannot directly purchase cigarettes from manufacturers or other persons without both licenses. There are three types of wholesale cigarette dealers. They are stamping agents (also known as agent-jobbers), wholesale dealers (also known as sub-jobbers) and vending machine operators.
