LIHU‘E — In a recent compliance check conducted on Kaua‘i, no cigarettes were sold to minors, a county press release says.
Attempts to purchase tobacco by trained minors were made at 40 local businesses last week, but all of the merchants who were approached refused the sales, earning Kaua‘i County a 100 percent rating.
“We are extremely pleased that many local businesses are complying with the law prohibiting tobacco sales to minors,” said Assistant Chief Roy Asher. “We want to thank everyone and hope that we can continue to have excellent compliance checks and protect our young people from the harm caused by tobacco.”
The compliance check was conducted by the Kaua‘i Police Department Youth Services Section with funding provided by the state Department of Health.
