KREM2: Stores Sell Smokes To 15YOs

It can be easy for children to get their hands on cigarettes.  Our cameras were rolling as 15-year-old volunteer girls try to buy cigarettes at a dozen different places in Spokane and Spokane Valley. The health district goes undercover more than 100 times a year to make sure stores are obeying the law and not selling cigarettes to minors.  KREM 2 went along as four stores in our area were caught making the sale. The health district’s tobacco prevention team supervises the underage volunteers as they try to buy cigarettes in the store.  Four out of 12 places sold to the girls/ KREM2 . More here .

Question: Should law enforcement spend much time cracking down on teen smokers?
