DIVISION 3. SALE OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS TO MINORS THROUGH VENDING MACHINES
(a) Authority. This division is adopted pursuant to the authority conferred upon Greenville County, South Carolina by the Constitution and laws of the State of South Carolina.
(b) Findings. Greenville County Council finds that it is unlawful for any person to sell, furnish, give, or provide any minor under the age of 18 years with cigarettes, tobacco, cigarette paper or any substitute therefor. It further finds that sales of tobacco products through vending machines are not monitored to ensure compliance with state law. Therefore, in order to promote the public health, welfare, and safety of its minor citizens, and to ensure compliance with state law, Greenville County Council finds that a prohibition against the sale of tobacco products to minors through vending machines is in the public interest.
