As I write this there are advertisements up in the halls at the HS
(obviously with school blessings) where I teach (a few miles east of
Burlington, VT) specifically soliciting 17 year olds to work for a
private company under contract to the state to 'test buy' tobacco
products. I haven't heard about any takers yet nor anything backfiring.

I wonder, though, how long it would go on if some shopkeeper indeed did
this? But, is it a crime to try to buy booze or tobacco underage, if you
do not try to show fraudulent indentification?
