TOBACCO INITIATIVE

The PRC4 works with tobacco retail outlets throughout East Texas as part of the Minors and Tobacco strategy. The primary goal of this strategy is to limit the access of tobacco products to minors.

This involves a two-fold approach:

  • The PRC will conduct voluntary tobacco retailer surveys to provide information related to the laws and state requirements.
  • The PRC also provides training and educational presentations addressing the negative consequences of tobacco use, state laws and regulations related to the sale of tobacco.

All presentations are open to retailers, parents, youth, teachers, and other interested community members.

Call to schedule a presentation or for additional information at 1.888.PRC.TEXX (1.888.772.8399) or 903.753.7633.
