A tobacconist, also called a tobacco shop, a "tobacconist's shop" or a smoke shop, is a retailer of tobacco products in various forms and the related accoutrements, such as pipes, lighters, matches, pipe cleaners, pipe tampers. More specialized retailers might sell: ashtrays, humidification devices, hygrometers, humidors, cigar cutters, and more. Books and magazines, especially ones related to tobacco are commonly offered. Items irrelevant to tobacco such as puzzles, games, figurines, hip flasks, walking sticks, and confectionery are sometimes sold. A tobacconist shop in the United States is traditionally represented by a nearby wooden Indian. Most tobacco stores offer many types of products; today supermarkets are typically the main sellers of popular cigarette brands, in many countries with a special counter. A common combination in small corner stores in the United Kingdom has been a newsagent selling newspapers and magazines, as well as cakes and tobacco. This sector is referred to in UK retailing as "CONTOB" ("pastry and tobacco"). In principle, tobacco specialists are trained and experienced in everything related to tobacco including its different shapes , colours, scents, textures and tastes. They use this awareness to offer consumer information about the tobacco products. Tobacco manufacturers have become scarce because of the downturn in the tobacco industry in recent decades and the increased use of mass-produced tobacco products, but many smokers still choose to purchase their products from a tobacco shop with a tobacco manufacturer behind the counter. In the United States, standard tobacco shops are generally specialized in cigarettes, roll-your-own supplies, smokeless tobacco such as dipping tobacco and chewing tobacco, cigars, and pipe tobacco. Such cigarette stores, more recently, can also hold vape items, and some may also double as head shops. More luxury tobacco shops tend to concentrate even more on cigars and pipe tobacco. Most of these establishments would have a smoking lounge or even a restaurant, as well as a walk-in humidor. These stores, often specifically categorizing themselves as a cigar store, generally have limited amounts of other commonplace forms of tobacco. Tobacco stores in Australia are normally franchised shops these days, as private tobacco owners typically do not or do not cooperate with big tobacco firms.Then there are now smaller online tobacconists calling themselves Boutique Online Stores these stores are 24 hour operated stores, these stores are more specialized with emphasis on service and knowledge. Tabacconists may have their trade restricted in countries where tobacco control laws are strict. In the United States, retail stores are commonly selling cigarettes and related items at the same premises as over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs. US campaigners advocate the removal of tobacco from pharmacies due to the smoking-related health risks and the apparent contradiction of selling cigarettes alongside smoking cessation products and asthma medicines. Pharmaceutical retailers counter this argument by reasoning that they are more readily able to offer customers advice and products for quitting smoking by selling tobacco. Some tobacco shop owners in the US are concerned about the 2016 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for electronic cigarettes.The 2010 FDA regulations caused some inconveniences for local tobacco shops in Cullman, Alabama, US. The US Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, has restricted marketing, particularly to minors; prohibited flavored cigarettes (excluding menthol); removed descriptions including "light," "mild," and "low-tar" from cigarette packs; and made larger the dimensions of warning labels on smokeless tobacco. Anyone under the age of 19 is not allowed entry to any US self-service tobacco shop, even if going with an adult.
