Are cigarette vending machines permitted in Minnesota?
Minnesota law bans the use of cigarette vending machines, except in adult-only facilities. State law provides: “No person shall sell tobacco products from vending machines.” This subdivision does not apply to vending machines “in facilities that cannot be entered at any time by persons younger than 18 years of age.” Minn. Stat. ยง 461.18, Subd.2. (2000).
