Abstract
Minors were asked questions regarding their cigarette-purchasing behavior and a group of volunteer minors were sent into stores to purchase cigarettes in a large Midwestern city. Results show that cigarette sales rates for two sampling data taken one year apart were 80% and 82%. In addition, minors reported they can easily purchase cigarettes from stores and vending machines. The results indicate that minors have easy access to cigarettes in a large Midwestern city.Keywords
