The objective of this project was to profile the statewide enforcement of laws prohibiting sales of tobacco to minors and purchasing/possession of tobacco by minors in 1996. A sample of Wisconsin cities or villages (n = 86) were surveyed on adoption of pertinent state statutes as local ordinances and the number of recorded violations. About 70% of municipalities have passed illegal sales ordinances and about 80% have passed purchase/possession ordinances. Over 6,000 citations were issued to minors in 1996 for purchase/possession of tobacco and 67 citations were issued for illegal sales to minors. By extrapolation, we estimate that there is approximately one commercial selling citation issued for every 112,000 packs of cigarettes sold to minors. We discuss this disparity and submit that a shift in enforcement, to commercial sellers, is needed to help reduce the increasing use of tobacco by minors.
该项目的目标是概述1996年全州范围内禁止向未成年人销售烟草以及未成年人购买/持有烟草相关法律的执行情况。对威斯康星州的一些城市或村庄（n = 86）进行了抽样调查，内容包括相关州法规作为地方法规的采用情况以及记录在案的违规行为数量。约70%的市政当局通过了非法销售条例，约80%通过了购买/持有条例。1996年，针对未成年人购买/持有烟草发出了6000多张传票，针对向未成年人非法销售发出了67张传票。通过推断，我们估计每向未成年人销售11.2万包香烟，大约会发出一张商业销售传票。我们讨论了这种差异，并认为需要将执法重点转向商业销售者，以帮助减少未成年人日益增加的烟草使用量。
