7-Eleven will pay $1.2 million to resolve charges that it violated a Washington, D.C., restriction on where vapes and e-cigarettes can be sold, the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia announced.
A D.C. law enacted in October 2022 prohibits such devices from being sold within a quarter mile of middle and high schools in the city. The Office of the Attorney General said that 16 7-Eleven stores near schools received or sold more than 7,500 electronic smoking devices after the law was passed.
In addition to paying the fine, 7-Eleven has removed vapes and e-cigarettes from those stores and agreed to improve training and ensure compliance with the law.
