What is Nassau County Health Department doing to try to stop tobacco sales to minors?
Nassau County Health Department runs a compliance check program. Each year we witness the attempt by a minor to purchase tobacco products in all facilities that offer tobacco products for sale. Every retail tobacco vendor in the County will be checked at least once each year. Vendors who have sold tobacco to a minor in recent years will be checked more frequently. Most tobacco vendors in Nassau County comply with the regulation, and in recent years approximately 90% of all vendors were in compliance.
