Permit and license counts, not store counts. One outlet can hold more than one permit, so permit types are never added together.

Both datasets refresh daily; these figures are snapshots at the retrieved dates above. Data is "as is" per the publishers, and neither publisher endorses this analysis.

Pennsylvania has no separate e-cigarette license; e-cigarettes fall under OTP. Texas and Pennsylvania permit types are not directly comparable.

SMOKEMAP doesn't verify licenses or give compliance advice.
