Sale of tobacco to minors, see §709-908.

Act 53, Session Laws 1996, added this section to prohibit the sale of single cigarettes or cigarettes in packs of less than twenty and in other than in sealed packages originating with the manufacturer and bearing the required health warning. The legislature found that the sale of cigarettes in amounts of less than twenty was specifically aimed at minors. The legislature sought to prevent the distribution of cigarettes to minors through quantity and price control. House Standing Committee Report No. 924-96, Senate Standing Committee Report No. 2013.
