Tobacco and Vapor Product Sales Training Class Registration

This FREE 3 hour class is for retailers who sell tobacco and vapor products. 

The Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH) requires that at least one staff member, with the proper training, is working at all times of the store operation.  We recommend all staff take this training class.

Each individual certification is valid for 3 years. During that time, a violation of a sale to an underage person may result in a one point assessment, rather than two points, on the retailer's license.
