Re: Tobacco Sales Compliance Check
Location: 528 Bucklsland Road, West Yannouth, MA
Deaz Mr. Bais,
The Cape Cod Regionat Tobacco Control, in collaboration with the Yazmouth Health Department,
has recently completed a compliance check to determine if minors (anyone under the age of 18)
could purchase tobacco products from your establishment.
Minors were able to purchase tobacco in your store during a compliance check on the
aftemoon of June 7,2001. (Time -3:44 p.m.; Employee was female, approaimately 35 years
of age.)
Minors were sent into twenty-six(26)Yazmouth establishments licensed to sell cigazettes 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 Massachusetts Law and the Yannouth Board of Health Regulation for anyone
to sell tobacco products to people under the age of eighteen.
Please be advised this is your second violafion 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 IX. You must also appear aY a Board of Health hearing scheduled for Monday,July 16,
2001 at 3:15 p.m. at the Yarmouth Town Hall hearing room. At the hearing,the Boazd of Health
wili deternune if your tobacco license should be suspended, revoked, restricted or other penalties
assessed. You or a representative must appear at this hearing.
Please deliver the fine payment to the Health Depariment prior to the Board of Health hearing.
Please malce your check payable to the Town of Yazmouth.
For your information, minors were successful in purchasing cigarettes at four out of twenty-six
Yannouth establishments which sell tobacco pmducts.
If you should have any questions or comments relative to this matter,please contact me at the Health
Office. I can be reached by calling(508)398-2231,ext.241,Monday tlu�ough Friday from 830 a.m.
to 430 p.m.
