Enforcement activities include:

  • Inspecting stores and licenses for compliance
  • Investigating fraudulent activity

Report Illegal Activity

To report illegal activity such as underage sales or the sale of loose cigarettes, please call (601) 359-4159.

Report a potential federal violation, such as underage sales of a tobacco product, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Compliance Reports

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration conducts inspections of tobacco product retailers to determine a retailer's compliance with federal laws and regulations. Past compliance inspections of tobacco product retailers in your area are available online.

Complaints

If you experience a problem with a tobacco product, such as an unexpected health or safety issue, report it online through the FDA Safety Reporting Portal.
