Protect Our Communities: Reduce Tobacco Marketing at the Point-of- sale
Retail stores are the primary battleground for Big Tobacco, where most products are sold and heavily marketed. By implementing point-of-sale policies like Stop Tobacco Offenses Merchant Program or STOMP, communities can limit youth exposure to tobacco advertising and strengthen statewide efforts to reduce tobacco use among all ages.
STOMP Out Youth Tobacco Use: Empower Merchants to Make a Difference
Merchants are the first line of defense in preventing youth tobacco use. By learning age-of-sale requirements and proper ID checks, you can help protect your community and reduce non-compliance rates. Join the STOMP program and show your commitment to keeping tobacco out of young hands.
Take Action: Stop Tobacco Marketing Where It Starts
Retail stores are the last stronghold for Big Tobacco marketing, making them a critical focus for tobacco control. By implementing point-of-sale policies, communities can protect youth, reduce exposure to harmful advertising, and support statewide efforts to lower tobacco use.
