Inside Well being has fined the Safeway on Bernard Avenue for promoting tobacco to a minor.
The ticket was issued by IH on March 2 and hit the grocery retailer with a $575 high-quality.
In an electronic mail to Castanet, Inside Well being says they rent secret consumers who’re minors to check shops.
[“The minors are] normally 15 to 17 years previous who work with our enforcement officers to check retailers that promote tobacco and vape merchandise. Inside Well being follows a progressive enforcement method and previous to issuing a ticket, the retailer will obtain a warning letter with no high-quality,” IH mentioned.
Right now it is unknown when the key shopper bought the tobacco from the shop.
