ROSCOE, Ill. — Feb. 22, all Roscoe, Ill., tobacco retailers were inspected for the second of three rounds of compliance checks to be conducted on all tobacco retailers within the community.
A total of 12 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 minimum-age tobacco laws, which prohibit the sale of tobacco to people younger than 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 Roscoe Police Department 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.
