Application of consumer protection authority in preventing tobacco sales to minors

B S Krevor et al. Tob Control. 2002 Jun.

Abstract

In the USA, the enforcement of state sales of tobacco products to minors laws has had only limited impact upon reducing youth access. The application of consumer protection authorities by state attorneys general to alter the sales and promotion practices of tobacco retailers provides a complementary and highly leveraged strategy to increase compliance with tobacco sales to minors laws.
