Retailers are an important part of our communities and also serve as the first line of defense in preventing tobacco and alcohol sales to those who are underage. Retailers must make a conscientious decision to engage in responsible practices and remain vigilant about asking for photo identification, checking them thoroughly and refusing to sell to those who are underage.
This website provides materials and resources needed to train and educate retail owners and staff in order to remain compliant with youth access to tobacco and alcohol laws. We encourage everyone to utilize and share the resources provided.
