To further support the tobacco endeavors in our Region, our tobacco specialists conduct Tobacco Retailer Compliance Checks. These checks are conducted at every tobacco retail store in each of our 41 counties. The purpose of these checks are to educate retailers and their staff about the harmful effects of tobacco, the consequences of selling to a minor and how important it is to card anyone under 27 years of age. For more information about Tobacco Retailer Education efforts in Region 1, please contact Adolphus Cleveland at adolph.cleveland@mccaod.com or visit the Tobacco Law Website at www.texastobaccolaw.org
