Consumer Center
The Consumer Center is TPA’s premier center that provides data and analysis to inform and assist policymakers when addressing consumer products. We focus on providing up-to-date information on adult access to goods including alcohol, tobacco and vapor products, as well as regulatory policies that affect adult access to other consumer products, including harm reduction, technology, innovation, antitrust and privacy.
TPA strives to inform policies and regulations that both reduce the tax burden on American taxpayers while also not restricting their personal liberties. As such, our focus may shift from time to time, dependent on federal, state and local actions, but we will continue to advocate for adult choice.
