DISCUSSION 
Youth Tobacco Sting: In May 2016, a sting was conducted at all licensed tobacco establishments in 
town. Ten of the 21 establishments failed the sting and sold tobacco products to someone under the age 
of 21. 
Youth Tobacco Survey: In 2013, when the Board approved raising the age to purchase tobacco from 18 
to 21, becoming effective January 1, 2014, it wanted to administer a survey for five years to the middle 
and high school age students to gauge what, if any, impact this action had on smoking among the town's 
youth.

Dr. Goodman, reported on the summarized results of the 2015 tobacco survey administered to Canton 
middle and high school students. The behavior was reported by the students as staying the same, and the 
percentage of high school students who have tried tobacco has gone down. Smoking in Canton is lower 
than national rates, with the goal to get the numbers to zero. Although the use of e -cigarettes has tripled 
nationally; it has not gone up in Canton. Restricting access to tobacco products is showing a negative 
effect on starting a tobacco habit. 
The next survey will be distributed on December 16, 2016. Mr. Ciccotelli extended his appreciation to 
the schools for assisting in the project.
