STOP SALES TO MINORS
Stop Sales to Minors is a tobacco retailer training designed to help tobacco retailers comply with Minnesota and federal laws that regulate the sale of commercial tobacco, e-cigarettes, and commercial tobacco-related devices.
The training takes approximately one hour to complete and is divided into three sections. There are a total of 25 questions, and the retailer must correctly answer 17 questions to be awarded a certificate. The certificate will be emailed to the email address provided by the retailer at registration.
The Association for Nonsmokers-Minnesota originally created this training in 2016 and updated it in 2020 after the Minnesota Legislature passed Tobacco 21, raising the tobacco sales age to 21. The Public Health Law Center and the Minnesota Department of Human Services-Behavioral Health Division assisted with development of this training.
For any questions on the training, or if you are a licensing authority looking for a list of tobacco retailers in your area that have passed the training, please contact Katie Engman at katie@ansrmn.org.
