Vital Strategies and Counter Tools are bringing together experts from North America for an interactive webinar, sharing experiences, resources and tools for effective implementation and enforcement of tobacco control policies at the point of sale. Join us to understand why these policies are important, along with common challenges and the tools regulators can use to build compliance. Learn about evidence and best practices for retailer education programs and hear how New York City uses data to inform interventions and strategies. There will be time to ask questions and explore how to accelerate progress at the point of sale in your jurisdiction.
Vital Strategies’ Tobacco Control Implementation Hub provides implementation and enforcement resources for all those working in tobacco control through practical tools, guidance, evidence and expert support. Learn more during the webinar about the resources and support available.
