Industry News: Cigarettes being sold to minors by 51% of shops

The majority of cigarette shopkeepers in the west of Ireland are disregarding laws which prohibit the sale of cigarettes to people aged under 21, the results of a survey by the Western Health Board suggest.

Some 200 retail cigarette outlets in the Western Health Board area (Counties Galway, Mayo and Roscommon) were the targets of a "sting" operation in recent months when youngsters, the eldest of whom was 21, made purchases in premises that sell tobacco products.

The survey, carried out by environmental health officers, shows that Co Roscommon has the worst compliance rate with 93 per cent, or 26 out of the 28 shops, willing to sell cigarettes to underage persons. Mayo fared second worst in the survey with 39 out of 64 shops (61 per cent) selling cigarettes to the teenagers. Co Galway had the best compliance rate.
