Ending Tobacco Sales in Grocery Stores

There is a statwide grassroots effort underway to encourage grocery stores to end all tobacco sales. Here in the Capital District, we are working hard to persuade Price Chopper, our local grocery industry leader, to stop selling cigarettes for three great reasons:

  • Help smokers quit
  • Keep kids from starting to smoke
  • Improve public image

Sign a petition to end the sale of tobacco products in supermarkets. Find out more about what you can do.

Check back soon to join us in thanking the area retailers who have made the decision to limit or remove tobacco advertising from their stores.
