Rite-Aid to curb tobacco sales to minors in Ore.

Wednesday, September 8, 2004

SALEM -- Attorney General Hardy Myers announced Wednesday an agreement with retailer Rite Aid aimed at curbing the sale of tobacco to minors.

The agreement with the national chain, which has 70 Rite Aid stores in Oregon, includes a new set of policies, all aimed at reducing the sale of cigarettes, chewing tobacco and snuff to minors.

Rite Aid has agreed to train its employees to card anyone attempting to buy tobacco products that appears under the age of 27.

The retailer will also install new registers which prompt the employee to check the ID of a tobacco buyer.

And Rite Aid has also agreed to hire an independent auditor to conduct random compliance checks.

The retailer will also do away with its self-service displays of cigarettes.

Myers joins 20 other attorney generals nationwide who have signed the agreement with Rite Aid.
