ORDER INFORMATION
Implementing the SAMHSA Tobacco Regulation
for the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant
Key Requirements of the Regulation
The SAMHSA regulation implementing the Synar Amendment requires the State to:
Have in effect a law prohibiting any manufacturer, retailer or distributor of tobacco products from selling or distributing such products to any individual under the age of 18.
Enforce such laws in a manner that can reasonably be expected to reduce the extent to which tobacco products are available to individuals under the age of 18.
Conduct annual random, unannounced inspections to ensure compliance with the law. These inspections are to be conducted in such a way as to provide a valid sample of outlets accessible to youth.
Develop a strategy and timeframe for achieving an inspection failure rate of less than 20% of outlets accessible to youth.
