The City set caps (limits) on the number of Tobacco Retail Dealer and Electronic Cigarette Retail Dealer licenses in each Community District established under Chapter 69 of the New York City Charter. The caps are 50 percent of the number of active Tobacco Retail Dealer licenses on February 24, 2018 and 50 percent of the number of licenses issued for Electronic Cigarette Retail Dealer as of August 23, 2018. The cap for Tobacco Retail Dealers excludes pharmacies whose licenses permanently expire before January 1, 2019 when pharmacies and businesses that contain pharmacies can no longer sell cigarettes or other tobacco products in New York City.

The number of active licenses are grouped by borough and community district number. Each row of data represents one Community District's license cap and the number of active licenses at the time of the dataset's publication.

Businesses interested in applying for these licenses may use this dataset to determine if licenses are available in their Community District. Even if licenses are not available, businesses may be able to apply if they meet limited exceptions to the cap. Visit nyc.gov/dcwp for license requirements.

The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) conducts a semi-annual review of Tobacco Retail Dealer licenses and Electronic Cigarette Dealer Licenses in each Community District to determine if the number of current licenses has fallen below the Community District cap. DCWP issues a public notice in the City Record stating which Community Districts have available licenses, how many licenses are available, and when it will begin accepting Lottery Application forms.

At the close of the Lottery Application Period, DCWP will assign each accepted application a “Priority Number” using a computer-generated random number selection program. If the number of accepted Lottery Application Forms exceeds the number of available Tobacco Retail Dealer licenses for the Community District, DCWP will issue offers to apply for the license in the order of the assigned Priority Numbers.

Reed Cigarettes, Accession AMNH29.0, Catalog #7745. Morris FS 1338. Analyzed by Laurie Webster, 2006. Reed cigarettes. Image: AMNH 29.0-7745A: reed cigarettes Recovered from Earl Morris' excavation of Room 48, Aztec West Ruin. Earl Morris’ description of Room 48 at the time of excavation is as follows. “The floor was covered with refuse.. The greater proportion of this deposit was of vegetable substance; cornstalks, husks, tassels, and cobs, cedarbark, splinters of the same wood, as well as human excrement. This deposit of Chaco age had been completely protected from moisture and constituted, aside from some found in the caves of Del Muerto canyon, the richest repository for perishable artifacts that has come within the experience of the writer. Above this sand had worked down through the second floor before the timbers supporting the latter had failed. These had fallen in recent times, after the mound had reached its final form, as evidenced by the ragged crater left by the settling of the debris above them subsequent to their collapse” (Morris 1928:307-308).

Abstract from Reference Pubication (see publications tab for citation): Introduction: Though the WHO Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC) calls for the implementation of large graphic warning labels (GWLs) on cigarette boxes, the courts have blocked the implementation of 50% labels in the United States. We conducted an experiment to explore whether changing the size of GWLs is associated with changes in visual attention, negative affect, risk beliefs, and behavioral intentions. Method: We recruited adult smokers (N = 238) and middle-school youth (N = 237) throughout the state of New York in May 2016. We randomly assigned participants to one of three between-subject conditions (no GWL [control], 30% GWL, 50% GWL). Results: Adult and youth participants looked at the GWLs longer when the GWL covered 50% versus 30% of the pack’s front. Increasing GWL size from 30% to 50% did not influence negative affect or risk beliefs, though both GWL sizes increased negative affect relative to the no-GWL control group. Exposure to 50% GWLs increased adult smokers’ intentions to quit compared to no-GWL, but smokers exposed to 30% GWLs did not differ from control. There were no differences between 50% GWLs, 30% GWLs, and control on youth smoking susceptibility. Conclusions: Findings provide some evidence of the benefits of a 50% versus 30% GWL covering the front of the pack for adult smokers and at-risk youth from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds—though not on all outcomes. Implications: This research shows that 30% GWLs on cigarette packages increase negative affect relative to packages without front-of-package GWLs. Larger GWLs on cigarette packages (50% vs. 30%) increase visual attention to the warning and its pictorial content among low-SES smokers and at-risk youth but do not further increase negative affect. A 50% GWL increased adults’ quit intention compared to no GWL at all, but we were underpowered to detect modest differences in quit intentions between a 50% and 30% GWL. Future work should thus continue to explore the boundary conditions under which relatively larger GWLs influence cognitive, affective, and behavioral outcomes.
