Protecting Youth Through Tobacco Retail Licensing

This presentation addresses the critical issue of youth tobacco use and the role of Tobacco Retail Licensing (TRL) in our community. With 90% of smokers starting before age 18, it’s vital to understand the adverse effects of nicotine on brain development and the tobacco industry’s strategies targeting youth. By implementing TRL, we can increase compliance checks for underage sales, limit tobacco retailers' density near schools, and provide vital education. Join us in advocating for the health of our youth, reducing tobacco initiation, and ultimately safeguarding our future.
