The Tobacco Retailer Responsibility Initiative, a project of the Tobacco Control Resource Center (TCRC) at Northeastern University, assists offices of Attorneys General in their efforts to reduce teenage tobacco addiction. The 20 month TRR Initiative, which receives funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, examines various models {enforcement, regulation, legislation and consumer protection} to achieve compliance with tobacco sales to minors laws and to establish responsible practices for the sale of tobacco and the training and supervision of employees. The Initiative also examines emerging tobacco control policies at the local, state and national level and the potential roles for offices of attorneys general in these developing policy issues.
