If you see tobacco being sold Illegally. If you see clerks who don t ask for ID of anyone looking younger than 27 years of age. You do not need to purchase tobacco yourself and you should not do this. In some states, it may be against the law for a minor to try to buy cigarettes or spit tobacco and you could be guilty of breaking the law if you try to purchase. It is against federal law to sell to minors.
Every state is required to obey federal law.
Clerks are supposed to ask for identification. No clerk is ever supposed to sell tobacco to a minor. When you call, the FDA will make a record of the name of the store, the address, and the date. It may take more than one call for them to check an individual store. If you can, find someone else who is aware that the law is being broken and ask them to place a call too.
