Ninety-three percent of surveyed Fond du Lac School District students reported cigarettes as being "fairly easy" to "easy" to obtain. Easy access to cigarettes from retail outlets may be instrumental in the inordinately high local prevalence of under-age smoking. Fourteen-year-old youths were trained to attempt purchases of cigarettes from all cigarette outlets in the city of Fond du Lac. Information relating to the purchase attempts was recorded and analyzed. Our 60% purchase success rate stems from purchases at 77% of vending machines and 43% of over-the-counter outlets. Sales from taverns accounted for approximately 25% of the totals. Our results are consistent with other studies and argue for retailer education and systematic enforcement of policies that address underage purchase of cigarettes from licensed outlets including those that otherwise proscribe minors from entering.
在接受调查的丰迪拉克学区学生中，93%的学生表示香烟“相当容易”到“很容易”就能买到。从零售商店容易获得香烟可能是当地未成年人吸烟率极高的一个因素。14岁的青少年接受培训，尝试从丰迪拉克市所有香烟销售点购买香烟。记录并分析了与购买尝试相关的信息。我们60%的购买成功率来自于77%的自动售货机和43%的柜台销售点。酒馆的销售额约占总数的25%。我们的结果与其他研究一致，并主张对零售商进行教育，以及系统地执行相关政策，以解决从有执照的销售点向未成年人出售香烟的问题，包括那些禁止未成年人进入的场所。
