The 16 stores were for sale, sold and received more than 7,500 electronic smoking devices, a violation of the law, the office of Attorney General Brian Schwalb said in a press release Tuesday.
The attorney general’s office said alleged violations of the ban occurred 7-11 In August 2022, the ban will come into effect in October 2022.
To resolve the allegations, 7-11 The fine was paid and all electronic smoking devices were removed from downtown stores.
7-11 The attorney general’s office said that the devices must also be advertised in school area stores, employees of the company-owned stores must be trained in accordance with city vape sales restrictions, and franchise stores must be monitored.
