No Cigs for Our Kids
TOBACCO ~ BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The No Cigs For Our Kids
campaign started several years ago with the goal of reducing youth access to tobacco. The campaign focuses
on educating the retailers on the importance of compliance with the
Youth Tobacco Act.
The campaign has been an
ongoing joint effort with local law
enforcement to combat the
problem of vendors selling
tobacco to our kids. Local sting operations along with vendor educations have been completed on a regular basis in all 4 Counties, to bring awareness to retailers on the sales of tobacco to minors.
Goal of The No Cigs For Our Kids Campaign:
Reduce tobacco sales to minors
through:
Undercover compliance checks in conjunction with the local and state law enforcement
Educating retailers on the importance of compliance with the youth tobacco act
Several tobacco retailers are on the
honor roll
(3 or more "no sales" to undercover decoys) in Allegan County. Check back for an updated list.
