The alarm bells ring in Elmshorn! On Monday, November 11, 2024, the criminal police went on a rescue office with the regulatory office. Goal? The protection of our youth against harmful substances! A clever "test buyer" - very clever and minor - tried to get hold of several shops, tobacco products and vapes. A risky undertaking that turned out to be a shocking success!

In a total of five sales outlets, the fearless test buyer has accomplished the shocking feat: she acquired tobacco and nicotine-containing products that are actually only released for adults from the age of 18! How could the sellers be so careless in these shops? The reality is now followed by the reality: Juicy fines are at risk of sellers and business owners, because the protection of minors is not taken lightly!

authorities work together!

These preventive measures show that the criminal police and the regulatory office work hand in hand to ensure that our little ones are not exposed to the influence of cigarettes and vapes. And that's just the beginning! The criminal police have already announced that they will regularly carry out such controls in the future. It remains to be seen how many other shops are targeted and whether the perpetrators will learn from their mistakes.
