ECDOH offers a free 3-hour class for retailers who sell tobacco & vapor products.
We recommend this in-person course for all retail staff, especially those that work at the point of sale. Each individual certification is valid for 3 years. During that time, a violation of a sale to an underage person may result in a one-point assessment.
Class topics include health consequences of tobacco use, NYS Public Health Law, types of products, signage requirements, proof of age requirements, enforcement & penalties & advertising requirements.
