Owners, managers, and staff of retail establishments in Hancock, Kennebec, Somerset, and Washington counties, Maine, that sell tobacco and tobacco products are invited and encouraged to join Healthy Acadia, Somerset Public Health, and Healthy Communities of the Capital Area online via Zoom at 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 5, for a virtual coffee break learning session exploring prevention of underage tobacco sales.

During this approximately 15-minute session, participants will explore new laws about Tobacco 21 and flavor restrictions as well as free resources such as the State's free voluntary online training course, called NO BUTS! (Blocking Underage Tobacco Sales), for tobacco retailers to prevent underage tobacco sales.  Retailers that participate in the NO BUTS! program can earn State Compliance Credits and avoid fines. 

Pre-registration is required. To register go to bit.ly/tobacco-retailer-ed.
