CRT Regulatory Compliance & Age Verification 3

Question 1

Which identification document is NOT generally acceptable as primary age verification for tobacco sales?

Accepted Answer

Student ID from a university

Answer

University or school student IDs are not government-issued and therefore not considered reliable primary identification for age verification.

Question 2

What should a tobacconist do if a valid-looking ID appears to have been tampered with or altered?

Accepted Answer

Refuse the sale but return the ID

Answer

A retailer should refuse the sale when an ID shows signs of tampering; confiscating IDs is generally not a legal right of retailers, but returning it while refusing the sale is appropriate.

The FDA can impose civil monetary penalties on retailers found to have violated tobacco sales regulations, including illegal sales to minors.

What is the purpose of a 'self-certification' requirement that some states impose on tobacco retailers?

Accepted Answer

Certifying compliance with minimum age laws and employee training requirements
