Since 2011, CounterTobacco.Org has been a one-stop shop for all things related to point-of-sale tobacco control. The site has been a resource for local, state, and federal organizations working to counteract commercial tobacco product sales and marketing in the retail environment, offering evidence-based descriptions of the problem, policy solutions, advocacy materials, news updates, and an image gallery exposing tobacco industry tactics at the point of sale.
While CounterTobacco.org’s funding situation has changed, it remains a project of Counter Tools, and we are committed to keeping the website’s current information as up to date as possible, and our image gallery remains active. We are not currently sending out a regular newsletter or posting news stories, but we continue to update the website with emerging research, resources, and policy news.
If you’re looking for a good point-of-sale news source, here are a few of our favorite newsletters:
- Preventing Tobacco Addiction Foundation
- Tobacco News from the Associations for Nonsmokers-MN
- Truth Initiative
If you are looking for additional guidance in your retail-focused prevention and policy work, learn more at CounterTools.org, and please reach out at hello@countertools.org.
