MUST BE UNDER 21 YEARS OF AGE (Ages 16-20 )

NO car is necessary

Inspectors under age 21 (the legal purchase age) ensure that stores are not selling tobacco and vape products to anyone underage.

• Inspectors try to buy cigarettes or vaping products.

• The “compliance checks” are under the supervision of a Public Health Inspector.

• Full training is provided

Salary: $16/hour

** Part-time flexible scheduling available

IMPORTANT DETAILS ABOUT THE ROLE:

Underage inspectors have played a critical role in the success of the Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention Act (ATUPA) program. The ATUPA program has been running since 1997 with youth inspectors conducting over 20,000 inspections of licensed tobacco outlets across New York State under the supervision of Public Health Inspectors.

Compliance checks involve individuals under age 21 attempting to purchase tobacco or vape products to see whether stores are following the law.

• Underage inspectors are not expected to deceive the retailer in any way.

• Underage inspectors are supervised by a Public Health Inspector.

• Underage inspectors do not present ID and will not conduct checks at locations where they may be known.

• Travel is provided to the compliance checks by the Public Health Inspector.

• Inspections may occur anywhere within Suffolk County.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Safety is of great importance: Compliance checks are not performed at locations where underage inspectors are known or where they do not feel secure.

Since this program began, nearly 95% of retail outlets are now in compliance (meaning they will not sell to anyone under age 21). Becoming an underage inspector is a great professional opportunity and stands out on a resume!
