Illegal tobacco sales up in Price, Forest, and Oneida counties compared to last year

PRICE COUNTY - Almost 15% of businesses in Price County sold tobacco to minors in 2014. That's an increase from last year.

Wisconsin businesses are tested every year to see if they'll sell tobacco to someone underage. It's part of a program called Wisconsin WINS.

An adult will go into the store with someone who's 16 or 17 years old.
The minor will then try to buy tobacco.
