Nevada Responsible Tobacco Retailer Training and Certification Program

In addition to parents, educators and health care providers, retail stores that sell commercial tobacco products including e-cigarettes or vapes play a crucial role in keeping the highly addictive drug, nicotine, out of the hands of youth. the Nevada Tobacco Control Program and our Partner Coalitions and Health Districts have made working with commercial tobacco retailers a priority. 

A free training and certification program has been developed and updated with the newest guidelines provided by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which provides essential education through a set of Learning Modules and concludes with a certification quiz. 

Every retail clerk, supervisor, manager and business owner who completes the training and quiz becomes a State of Nevada Certified Responsible Tobacco Retailer. 

Becoming a Certified Responsible Tobacco Retailer in Nevada means you have acquired the knowledge and understanding of the importance in keeping nicotine-derived products like commercial cigarettes, cigars, dissolvables, hookah tobacco, nicotine gels, pipe tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, smokeless tobacco like Dip, Snuff, Snus and chewing tobacco, vapes, e-cigarettes, hookah pens and other Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) including e-juices and flavors, out of the hand of youth. 

You understand the likely health effects associated with nicotine derived tobacco products on youth, including how it affects the developing brain of youth. You have also assumed the role of abiding by Tobacco 21 Law and its regulations.
