29 May 2009 | By Popsop Team
From 1st April 2009, increased sanctions in England and Wales came into force, which are designed to penalise those who persistently break the law by illegally selling tobacco to those under the age of 18.
JTI tobacco company is committed to playing a full role in support of youth access prevention schemes, and to support the retail trade in the UK in this critical area, so they have developed a website, www.tobaccoretailing.com, to help retailers understand and raise awareness of the introduction of the new legislation and the impact it could have on their business.
Available to use from May 2009, the website is designed to:
Underpin JTI’s commitment to help inform and support retailers in preventing underage sales: Provide retailers with the detail of the new sanctions in an easily accessible format; Provide support for existing campaigns such as No ID No Sale and support circa 50,000 independent retailers who sell tobacco.
A training module for retailers and staff is currently being developed for the website in conjunction with training provider UpSkill People and will be made available later this year.
