Our Service History
1A Tobacco Sales Training was formed in preparation for Nassau County's Tobacco 19 Law, which took effect January 1, 2007. Hundreds of store owners and their employees were trained by the 1A Tobacco Sales Training team in the law and techniques to prevent underage sales, during sellout presentations at the Long Island Marriott. In 2009 we were approved by the NYS Dept. of Health to offer the online version of our course, thus allowing store owners and employees the convenience of taking it at home. It's the easiest way to get your 3 year NYS Tobacco Sales Training Certification.
