Decoys Catch Stores in Cigarette-Sale Sting

The Tri-Cities Tobacco Reduction coalition recently sent three underage teenagers out to see whether they could buy cigarettes from stores in Detroit and Highland Park. The Results were not good. Of the 320 stores checked, 82 sold cigarettes to the teens, which were between ages 15-17. People must be 18 to legally buy cigarettes in Michigan. When the age of the buyer is not clear, the retailer is supposed to check the buyer's ID. The stores that sold the cigarettes will face fines.
