Chapter 535 (pdf) of the laws of Westchester County  further restricts how tobacco can be vended in order to make it harder for minors to obtain tobacco.  This local law makes it illegal to allow self-service of tobacco products.  Tobacco has to be behind the service counter or locked.  A person at least 18 years of age or older has to supervise the sale of tobacco.  Tobacco vending machines, in addition to meeting the restrictions in the state law, must also in Westchester County be located at least 20 feet from an outside door and be equipped with a lock-out device that requires activation by a bartender or person in charge. 

Vending machines which sell tobacco products are restricted to make it harder for minors to obtain tobacco.
