Police Sting (tobacco)

America helps to contribute to the prevention of drug use by the Police Sting program. Students are taken to local merchants to try and convince clerks to sell them tobacco, although they are underage. If they are given cigarettes, the cop that accompanies the students will go into the store and fine the clerk who sold the drugs. The point of this program is to catch the people that are selling tobacco to underage buyers. With more people following the law, there are less situations where teens have access to drugs. Hopefully, the Police Sting program will prevent the use of tobacco by teens.
