Webinar Description

The webinar will feature local case studies about the effectiveness of licensing strategies for tobacco control and how licensing can be used broadly to enforce all tobacco-related laws. Participants will learn about the traditional uses of licensing and zoning as a tobacco control strategy and understand the legal differences and similarities between licensing and zoning as regulatory systems. Participants also will hear about how to build a campaign for a licensing (or zoning law) and how community organizing strategies can help in a local licensing campaign.
