Worcester County Tobacco Retailers Care About Our Kids!

The Worcester County Health Department and the Worcester County Sheriff’s Department work together to prevent the sale, distribution, and consumption of tobacco products by those under age 21. Out of the 145 tobacco retailers in Worcester County, 69 retailers were randomly visited between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023, by local law enforcement for the purpose of attempting to buy tobacco products by an underage cadet. The following tobacco retailers had an employee who requested an ID and refused to sell tobacco to a person under the age of 21. Please join the Worcester County Health Department and the Worcester County Sheriff’s Department in congratulating these establishments. Please stop in and say “Thank You” to:

It is illegal for a retailer to sell any tobacco product—including cigarettes, cigars, and e-cigarettes—to anyone under 21. The federal minimum age of sale applies to all retail establishments and persons with no exceptions.
