The legal process for the <br /> appeal of a violation is to submit a complaint in Superior Court; however, in an effort to limit Town <br /> Counsel's time and the Town's money, this matter was placed on the agenda so the board may resolve <br /> the request without court costs. <br /> On January 8,2019, Bob Collett of the Cape Cod Regional Tobacco Control Program and Health Agent met <br /> at the Route 130 Shell to train the owners regarding the new flavored tobacco restricted products.

At the training, the sale of cigars and flavored products, and <br /> the restriction of the Fronto King leaves was discussed.
