The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s "This Is Our Watch" initiative is a national retailer education program to raise awareness among tobacco retailers about federal regulations for selling tobacco products and the importance of complying with these regulations. The "This Is Our Watch" digital age verification calendar helps you determine if a customer is old enough to legally purchase tobacco products in your store. You can program the calendar to display the exact date a customer must have been born on or before to buy tobacco products. This video tutorial will walk through the process of setting up the digital age verification calendar.
