Comprehensive Tobacco Retail Marketing Training

The Tobacco Point-of-Sale Crash Course was created for new to tobacco control professionals as well as those interested in taking a more aggressive approach towards reducing the impact of tobacco marketing at retail. It is a 2-3 DAY comprehensive and interactive training that encourages tobacco policy, systems, and environmental change at retail. On-site classes with 5 or more participants are available upon request.

WHY IS THIS TRAINING IMPORTANT?

According to the CDC, tobacco use kills nearly 6 million people across the world, including nearly half a million Americans each year. The tobacco industry spends over a million dollars per hour to market tobacco in the United States. Tobacco retail marketing stimulates unplanned purchases, plays an important role in brand selection, and discourages quit attempts and abstinence among current and former tobacco users.

It is vital for tobacco control advocates to understand tobacco industry retail marketing and how it impacts tobacco-related morbidity and mortality. FTS CAN HELP. The Tobacco Point-of-Sale Crash Course is comprehensive and interactive and encourages tobacco policy, systems, and environmental change at retail.
