Three Bristol Tobacco Shops Caught Selling Vapes to Minors
Three tobacco stores in Bristol, Connecticut, were caught selling e-cigarette devices to minors, according to Vourant.

According to Vourant's report, three tobacco shops in Bristol, Connecticut, were found by the police to be selling e-cigarette devices to minors.

 

The Bristol Police Drug Enforcement Team conducted surprise raids on several Bristol shops on Tuesday, following a report received last month. These shops were suspected of selling tobacco and e-cigarette products to customers under the age of 21. Undercover minors were employed during these unannounced inspections.

 

The police authorities have announced their collaboration with Connecticut's Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services' tobacco prevention and enforcement program.
