Consumer products that contain nitrous oxide or that are labeled "VAPORS HARMFUL" and can can affect the central nervous system, cause intoxication, et al, is restricted to persons 18 years of age. It looks like it's been on the books since 2015.
I'm guessing that in this instance, the store was recently fined and is now raising awareness with it's employees.

So would tire dressings make it into this category then?
I can assure you as a lifelong Texan that you will not be required to show ID to purchase carpets or steering wheel covers.
You will be asked to show proof of age if buying materials that can be used as inhalants (things that have lots of organic solvents). Although, of course, in stores that allow cashiers to exercise discretion, the thuggy looking 17 year old guy will probably get a lot more scrutiny than the silver haired granny. Some stores are so paranoid (maybe with good reason) that they do not permit cashiers to exercise discretion - example being that at 55 years of age with grey hair and a bald spot, I am infrequently asked for ID to buy beer.
You will have to show the appropriate licensure/certification to purchase most refrigerants.
I believe that restrictions have been placed on the purchase of large quantities of ammonium nitrate fertilizer.
This is odd, considering you don't need a license to buy a car if it comes down to it. You can't drive it, but you can buy it.
I was asked in my state for my drivers license when registering a used car at the town hall. Yes, in my state it is the town clerk's office that does all of this as the town and the state get fees (not taxes!).
I provided my US passport ID card.
"What's this?".
Told that the passport ID is not any good to register a used car. I stated yes it is. Well, the lady states that she will use it but that it might come back. It never did come back.
Same thing with voting. "What's this?". We need the drivers license was told. No, was the response. Just an authorized ID is all that is required. The passport ID is an authorized ID.
Ironically, a license is a permission to do that which is not a right.
Ever wonder how your right to travel on public roads became a regulated privilege after 1933?
Ask your public servant to explain it.
I've never heard of such a thing, and the only thing I can think of is that its a store rule as a result of the manager being unable to communicate to his staff about stuff in aersol cans.
In theory, I have to be ID'd to buy spray paint, but the Home Depot clerks just cancel the scan and put it through.

Is it nosey people or just uninformed people?
Neither. Its that they have never been presented with anything other than a DL.
Like when my old roommate gave his Army ID (don't know what its called) to buy cigarettes. The 19 year old behind the counter didn't know what to do with it, it wasn't exactly a military town.

I don't know. Read the label and see if it does.
