(Fargo, ND) -- Official with Cass County Public Health says a majority of Cass County businesses recently passed while being tested for tobacco compliance.
Tobacco compliance checks were performed on March 14th.
A total of 17 businesses were checked and 14 passed, resulting in an 82% compliance rate.
Several times each year, FCPH partners with local law enforcement agencies to carry out tobacco compliance checks in Fargo, West Fargo, and Cass County.
An agency representative said the intent of the checks is to ensure tobacco retailers are not selling any tobacco to people under the age of twenty-one.
Licensed tobacco retailers are encouraged to periodically review city ordinances and state laws related to sale of tobacco products and to include this information when training new employees.
Cass County business that failed:
Petro Serve USA - 102 Langer Avenue South, Casselton – first fail in one year
Pit 88 - 24 Woodard Avenue South, Amenia – first fail in one year
City View Fuel - 13635 54th Street Southeast, Enderlin – first fail in one year
A tobacco compliance failure in Cass County is considered an infraction and the penalty is imposed by the court.
