hi how are you my name is Joe Dana I'm
with 12 News we're with the attorney
general's office can we ask you why he
would sell to a 16 year old girl
actually by mistake it was because from
what we understand she knew that she was
16 and she decided to sell to her
anyways she didn't speak that good
English she must I understand that she's
16 that's what happened how long have
you had your shop here I'm actually I
don't own it I just work here it's been
here a while yeah I'm I guess yeah
couple of years yes do you guys
understand the seriousness of not
selling nicotine to minors by my watch
she's my wife just come and help me and
she misunderstand it like she's 16 but
you could have stopped it yes I did you
didn't stop it no actually I did stop it
and I just go to the back I'm moving

left but the guy he came and he lighted
my ticket for it yes do you think that
nicotine addiction is a serious problem
among youth right now that is do you
feel like you have a responsibility to
try to stop it to try to help prevent it
- well everybody has responsibility you

somehow but you cannot stop people
addicted to smoke you know we try but
people they want it you know do you
really feel it's worth trying it's worth
not selling to these kids it is worth it
for kids yeah it is worth it for kids it
