The majority of the stores will comply, but they run into that on how to display and everything. But you know, someone out there had to have a break down. You wouldn't want to walk in a store and find tobacco advertisements sitting on top of the candy aisle.
Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to keep tobacco products out of kids' hands? In this episode of 'Give, Get, Grow', Connor Gilberton sits down with Linda Smith, a tobacco compliance coordinator, to uncover the nitty-gritty details of her vital role. Covering Hardin, Jefferson, and Orange counties in Texas, Linda's job is all about educating retailers on state laws and ensuring voluntary compliance.
She dives into the recent bill aimed at eliminating disposable nicotine e-cigs that target children, emphasizing the importance of age verification and proper permits. But it’s not all serious business; Linda shares a humorous story about a quirky violation she encountered, adding a light-hearted touch to the conversation. Retailers are encouraged to display tobacco products responsibly, away from minors and not next to candy aisles.
This episode sheds light on the crucial work done by tobacco compliance coordinators and the ongoing efforts to regulate tobacco sales effectively. Whether you're a retailer, parent, or just curious about tobacco laws, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of tobacco compliance.
