JULY 18, 2023 (LINCOLN, NEB.) — Investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol have conducted tobacco compliance checks in Lancaster County.
On Friday, July 14, investigators conducted tobacco compliance checks at 28 businesses in Lincoln. Three of those businesses sold tobacco products to a person under 21 years of age for a compliance rate of 89 percent.
Clerks who sell tobacco to a person under 21 are cited. This effort was made possible thanks in part to grant funding from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services and SAMHSA.
