Cigarette and roll-your-own tobacco brand families must be listed on the Attorney General’s Tobacco Directory to be legal for sale in Ohio.  The Tobacco Enforcement Unit maintains the Attorney General’s Tobacco Directory.  In addition to maintaining the Tobacco Directory, the Tobacco Enforcement Unit works with the Ohio Department of Taxation to enforce Ohio’s Qualifying Statute under the 1998 Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement, the terms of the Master Settlement Agreement, and the Consent Decree.  The Tobacco Enforcement Unit also represents the Ohio Department of Health for matters relating to Ohio’s indoor smoking ban.
