When youth are surrounded by v**e ads, in stores, online, and even in the shows they watch. This isn’t an accident. That’s why strong To***co Retail Licensing (TRL) policies matter!

TRL helps communities decide what products can be sold and where, reducing the constant exposure that makes it easier for young people to get hooked.

Sharing real data like this is how we educate and empower our community to push for safer retail environments and hold the to***co industry accountable!

Youth to***co use is still largely fueled by flavors. To***co Retail Licenses are a proven tool to limit access, reduce exposure, and put community health first. ✅

Big To***co companies intentionally target our community with Menthol ci******es, which is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the Black Community. Let’s fight back together! Learn more at savingblacklives.org. ******es
