during the Personnel Administrating because that was one of my kind of issues is that we’ve made the
fines much lower, now the State does say “up to” so it could be $0. It does not have to be $250.00 it
does not have to be $500.00 they put the words “up to $250.00”. The third offense does start with a
letter and so on and it becomes tougher and tougher. | think the way that this was intended, | don’t
know | wasn’t there when they wrote it back in 1997 all the way to 2010, but | do think it was for the
sales and distribution via a store and so on and not going from an 18 to a 16 year old. So in all
fairness | think that’s what this statute is. The youth access to and use of tobacco products is RSA
126:K:2 and that one talks about exactly what the tobacco is and so on and discusses more of the
wholesaler and the vending machines and so on. Just for clarification.
