Re: Correction/Cease and Desist Order - Tobacco Product Sale to a Person Under the Age of 21
Attn: Manager/Owner:
On November 15, 2024 at approximately 2:22 p.m. your establishment sold a tobacco product to a person under the age of
21 in violation of state law 105 CMR 665.010(A).
As outlined on the Correction/Cease and Desist Order issued by the North Andover Health Department (hand-delivered to
you or your agent on the day of the unlawful sale) you have the following alternatives:
1. Pay the fine of one-thousand ($1,000.00) within 21 days of the date of issuance of the Order; or
2. If you are aggrieved by the Correction/Cease and Desist Order, request a Hearing before the North Andover
Board of Health. This request must be made by you, in writing, and filed within seven (7) days after the date the
Order was served or actually received. The written request for a hearing can be delivered to the North Andover
Board of Health, 120 Main Street, North Andover, MA 01845. Any affected party has a right to appear at said
hearing.
All payments of fines shall be made to the Town Clerk, Town Hall, 120 Main Street, North Andover. Please note that this fine
of one-thousand ($1,000.00) is required under state law 105 CMR 665.045(A).
As you know, you have a legal obligation under 105 CMR 665.020(A) to ID all customers seeking to purchase tobacco
products, regardless of age. You must verify the age of tobacco purchasers by viewing their valid government-issued
photo identification cards. If you need any training to emphasize this legal obligation to your employees, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this notice.
Sincerely,
Ronald N. Beauregard
