DOVER, Del. (AP) - December 29, 2008
A new law requires that the cigarettes sold in the state be able
to extinguish themselves in about 15 to 20 seconds if they are not
smoked.
Under the law, retailers and wholesalers that continue to sell
traditional cigarettes in Delaware after Jan. 1 will face a fine of
up to $1,000 for the first violation. Subsequent offenses could
earn a maximum fine of $5,000.
