Are clove cigarettes marketed to appeal to under-aged smokers?
Definitely not. Every state in the nation has laws that prohibit the sale of tobacco products to under-aged persons. Moreover, nearly all clove products contain the admonition “underage sale prohibited”. One manufacturer and its exclusive importer account for virtually all of the clove cigarettes sold in the United States. These two companies are signatories to the Master Settlement Agreement (which has very stringent restrictions and penalties relating to the marketing of tobacco product to under-age smokers). These companies comply with all of the rules and restrictions contained in the Master Settlement Agreement.
