Newtown retailer violated tobacco sale laws during compliance check

One Newtown retailer violated tobacco sale laws during a recent unannounced compliance check.  Newtown Police, working with the Newtown Prevention Council, hosted the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services’ Tobacco Prevention and Enforcement Program on Wednesday. 

18 inspections were conducted.  Yankee Wine and Spirits was found in violation of sale of Tobacco to a minor. 

In an August sting, 5 establishments in Newtown were found in violation. 

Newtown Police say given the recent deaths and health concerns attributed to e-cigarettes and vaping, the increased use of these products among youth, and the new age restrictions, it was important to ensure the laws are being adhered to.  Newtown Police say this also helps to reveal the risks and reduce the use of tobacco and vaping products.
