No one shall sell, or permit to be sold, cigarettes or other tobacco products to anyone, unless the tobacco vending machine or other location at which the cigarettes or other tobacco products are available for purchase is posted with a notice at a point of purchase which is clearly visible to anyone considering purchase of the products, and which states:

IT IS ILLEGAL TO SELL OR PERMIT TO BE SOLD ANY TOBACCO PRODUCTS TO ANY PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN (18) - R.C.W. 26.28.080; VANCOUVER MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 7.12.

The notice must be in black letters at least one inch in height on a white background, and will be made available by the city clerk's office or the department of health. The prospective seller shall require proof of age from anyone who reasonably appears to be under eighteen. (Ord. M-3624, 2003)
