Tobacco Prevention & Control Program
Tobacco Retailers - Compliance Checks
Retailer education classes
Retailer education classes are being offered through the Public Health
Department on tobacco compliance checks. To ask questions or to schedule a training please
email health.promotion@co.kittitas.wa.us
‡.
Information will be given on how to check WA state ID's, what the fines are for
selling tobacco, and how to stay in compliance with state regulations on being a
tobacco retailer. This will be a great opportunity to ask questions about the
process of doing tobacco compliance checks. You can set up a training in your
business or at the local health department.

How are we doing?
Kittitas County Public Health Department was required to conduct compliance checks at 24 establishments in
Kittitas County during 2009. No tobacco was sold during any of these attempts, giving a compliance rate of 100%.
In addition to the required inspections, nine additional compliance checks were conducted within the county.
Four of these additional attempts resulted in the sale of tobacco to a minor. This gives a compliance
rate of 56% for the additional checks, and a compliance rate of 88% overall.
Sales to minors and compliance checks

Identification training is offered at the Wenatchee Enforcement
Office every 3rd Tuesday of the month at 10am.
