Book excerpt: Section 3 of chapter 358 of the session laws of 1984 makes it unlawful for any person to sell or distribute smokeless tobacco to any person under the age of 18 years. Smokeless tobacco includes any tobacco product which is suitable for chewing, as defined by K.S.A. 79-3370. Unlike the cereal malt beverage laws at K.S.A. 41-2701 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., the new act contains no prohibition on either the possession of smokeless tobacco by persons under the age of 18 or the dispensing by minors of such products. Accordingly, it is not a violation of the law for a retailer who sells such products to employ minors who assist in the handling or sale of smokeless tobacco.
