Deaz Mr. PateL•
On Friday,July 10,2015 this department received a complaint that your store was selling cigazs for
less than the sale price as regulated by Yannouth Boazd of Health Tobacco Control Regulation.
Approximately ten display boxes of two-cigar packages were being sold for$.99 or$1.49 rather than
the required$5.00/package. Single cigazs were also being sold For less than the required$2.50/cigaz.
One box of cherry flavored pipe tobacco was also observed.
The store manager and you were informed of the required sale pricing,which must be prominenfly
noted in cigaz display area.
A re-inspection on Monday,July 13,2015 revealed that all cigar pricing was brought in compliance
: with the Yazmouth Boazd of Health Tobacco Control Regulation.
This is your store's first violafion. You aze hereby ordered to pay a fine of$100.00 as required by
the Boazd of Health Tobacco Control Regulation. You must also appear at a Board of Health

this hearing.
