[January 30, 2013]
Tobacco retailers in Lincoln
were inspected for the second of three rounds of compliance checks
to be conducted on all tobacco retailers within the community. A
total of 15 tobacco retailers were inspected, and one was found to
be in violation of the law by selling tobacco to a minor.
|
The compliance checks are performed to determine if local tobacco
retailers are complying with state and local minimum-age tobacco
laws that prohibit the sale of tobacco to individuals under the age
of 18. With the help from a grant awarded by the Illinois Liquor
Control Commission's
"Kids Can't Buy 'Em Here" Tobacco Enforcement Program, the city
educates local tobacco retailers on minimum-age tobacco laws and the
importance of verifying the age of customers before selling
age-restrictive products such as tobacco.
