People and member coalition

Independent Tennessee voices, working together

TSFA is a statewide coalition of member retailers, industry partners, legal-age adult consumers, and advocates who believe policy works better when people affected by it can participate in the public process.

One shop can raise a concern. A statewide association can carry that concern to the Capitol.

Retail Shops

Local businesses serving adult customers responsibly.

Industry Partners

Distributors and manufacturers supporting a compliant market.

Adult 21+ Advocates

Tennesseans who value informed access to smoke-free alternatives.

Science and responsibility

Evidence should guide the conversation

We support policy that recognizes differences in product risk, communicates honestly about nicotine, and focuses smoke-free alternatives on adults 21+ who smoke.

Clear health information

E-cigarettes are not risk-free and are not for youth or people who have never used tobacco. For adults 21+ who smoke, any potential benefit depends on completely substituting e-cigarettes for combustible cigarettes. No e-cigarette has been approved by the FDA as a smoking cessation aid.

Relative-Risk Evidence

Evaluate products in the context of combustible smoking.

Adults 21+ Only

Center harm-reduction policy on legal-age adults who smoke.

Youth Prevention

Support age controls, responsible marketing, and enforcement.

Balanced Regulation

Favor practical standards that member businesses can follow.
