Southeast Missouri’s youth “buy rate” has gone up over 50% in 2010. This means an underage youth employed by the state was able to go into a tobacco retailer such as a convenience store and buy tobacco products.  Parents and compliant store owners should be outraged at this increase of unlawful sales!  It is against the law to sale cigarettes or other tobacco products to be sold or otherwise provided to any person under the age of eighteen or for such person to purchase, attempt to purchase or possess cigarettes or other tobacco products. Merchants who sale tobacco products to underage youth are adding to the number of addicted youth. 

Let’s all work together to “Break the chain of tobacco addiction. Keep tobacco out of the hand of America’s youth. It’s the right thing to do”!            -FDA Break the Chain campaign
