Oregon Attorney General
Hardy Myers and the chief
law enforcement officers of 42
other states, the District of
Columbia and two U.S. terri-
tories announced that Exxon
Mobil Corp. (ExxonMobil)
voluntarily has agreed to im-
plement major new policies to
reduce the sale of tobacco
products to minors.
An Assurance was filed
by the Dept. of Justice in
Marion County Circuit Court.
“This agreement is a criti-
cal step forward in the effort
to curb tobacco sales to under-
age Oregonians,” Myers said.
“ExxonMobil’s new policy,
which includes enhanced em-
ployee training, elimination of
self-service tobacco displays
and corporate monitoring of
franchisees, is a model to
which all responsible retailers
should aspire.”
