To give retailers all the tools they need to comply with tobacco regulations, the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products has developed a new education program called “This is Our Watch.” This program helps tobacco retailers better understand FDA tobacco regulations, the importance of compliance, and the greater purpose—protecting the nation’s youth from the harms of tobacco use.
“This is Our Watch” will launch nationally in November 2017. A full toolkit of resources will be available to retailers—including posters, stickers, age verification tools, and more—to help retailers better comply with federal tobacco regulations.
