This indicator shows the number of tobacco retailer compliance checks completed in Marathon County.
Why is this important?
Wisconsin Wins is a proven education, outreach, and inspection program for tobacco and vape retailers across the state. It was established in 2002 in response to an underage sales rate over 30%, which put the state at risk of losing millions of dollars in federal substance use prevention funding. Team members provide retailers with training, signage, and other tools to help them comply with the federal tobacco 21 sales law. Local agencies also partner with law enforcement to conduct nearly 4,000 tobacco and vape retailer inspections per year.
Raising the minimum age for tobacco sales to 21 helps reduce tobacco use among young people. That's important because tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable deaths in the U.S.—and nearly 95% of adult smokers say they started using tobacco before 21.
