Minors were able to purchase tobacco in yaur store during a compliance check in the evening of March 5 2016. (Time—5:50 p.m.; Employee was female, adult.) Minors were sent into Yarmouth establishments licensed to sell cigarettes to attempt purchases. If the clerk asked the minors their age or if the tobacco was for them,the minors told the truth. It is against the Yarmouth Board of Health regulation for anyone to sell tobacco products to people __, under the age of twenty one. This is your store's first violation in the last four compliance checks. You are hereby ordered to pay a fine of$100.00 as required by the Board of Health Tobacco Control Regulation, Section Q. You must also appear at a Board of Health hearing scheduled for Monday, March 21, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. at the Yarmouth Town Hall hearing room. At the hearing, the Board of Health will determine if your tobacco license should be suspended, revoked, restricted or other penalties assessed. You or a representative must appear at this hearing. For your information, minors were successful in purchasing cigarettes at five Yarmouth esta.blishments which sell tobacco products. If you have any questions or comments regard.ing the above matter, I can be reached at the Health Department at(508)398-2231, ext. 1241. Sincerely, Bruce G.
