Navigating tobacco compliance complexity

Stringent regulations meet global commerce - here's how Clym simplifies it all

Tobacco compliance challenges

The tobacco industry presents unique regulatory hurdles that traditional compliance solutions struggle to address:

Tobacco retailers must implement robust adult verification systems to prevent underage access, requiring reliable age confirmation processes that comply with varying minimum age requirements across different jurisdictions while maintaining customer experience.

Tobacco companies must carefully manage data collection for customer analytics while navigating severe marketing restrictions and advertising regulations. This requires specialized consent management for customer engagement tracking, promotional activities, and advertising communications while maintaining compliance with anti-tobacco advertising regulations across international markets.

Tobacco retailers must provide accessible shopping experiences for adult customers with disabilities while maintaining compliance with accessibility standards and ensuring equitable access to legal tobacco products.
