Dear Linda,

Generally, a tobacco products vendor should do the following:

• Prominently display the license at each retail location in a manner visible to the public.
• Keep complete and legible purchase invoices for cigarettes and tobacco products for four (4) years.
• Keep these invoices at the location indicated on your license for the first year after purchase.
• Allow Board staff or law enforcement agencies to review your invoices upon request.

The law also adds record keeping requirements and other provisions related to your purchase of cigarettes and tobacco products. Feel free to read more in our article about the Cigarette and Tobacco Retailer License.
