TOBACCO RETAIL PERMIT RENEWAL

There are two types of Tobacco Retailer permits. Please read the following descriptions and choose the type of permit you need for your tobacco retail location, and sign indicating you understand the requirements for the permit you are seeking.

General Tobacco Retailer – This type of retail location typically sells a wide variety of products so that the sale of tobacco products, electronic cigarette products, or nicotine products* accounts for less than 35% of the total quarterly gross receipts. In addition, less than 20% of the retail floor space and less than 20% of the total shelf space is allocated to the offer, display or storage of tobacco products. There is no self-service display for tobacco products, electronic cigarette products, or nicotine products. The business does not sell any “flavored” electronic cigarette products. Lastly, the business does not hold itself out as a retail tobacco specialty business and cause a reasonable person to believe the commercial establishment is a retail tobacco specialty business.

I understand that in order to be permitted as a General Tobacco Retailer, the business identified in this application may not at any time:

Have any self-service display of tobacco products, electronic cigarette products, or nicotine products; or

Sec. 387j(c)(1)(A)(i).

Hold itself out as a retail tobacco specialty business and causes a reasonable person to believe the commercial establishment is a retail tobacco specialty business.

I understand that retailers are responsible for knowing and complying with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
