70.155 Tobacco—Access to minors.
70.155.005 Finding.
Universal Citation: WA Rev Code § 70.155.005 (2018)
RCW 70.155.005 Finding.
The legislature finds that while present state law prohibits the sale and distribution of tobacco to minors, youth obtain tobacco products with ease. Availability and lack of enforcement put tobacco products in the hands of youth.
Federal law requires states to enforce laws prohibiting sale and distribution of tobacco products to minors in a manner that can reasonably be expected to reduce the extent to which the products are available to minors. It is imperative to effectively reduce the sale, distribution, and availability of tobacco products to minors.
[ 1993 c 507 § 1.]
