Canada survey flags wide retailer gaps in teen tobacco sales
Health Canada released a survey from August and September 1995 showing retailer compliance with age restrictions on tobacco varied by city. Six cities reported over 90 percent compliance, while nine cities fell below the national 48 percent average. Sales to 16 and 17 year olds remained common at 61 and 64 percent, with 32 percent selling to 15 year olds. Gender and clerk age affected willingness to sell, and stricter enforcement including undercover checks is being pursued under the Tobacco Control Blueprint.
