The law forbidding Cleveland tobacco sales to people younger than 21 years old goes into effect on Thursday.

 
On April 12, retailers are supposed to start asking for proof of age from customers who look like they may be under the age of 30.
 
Breaking the tobacco age sales limit will be considered a fourth degree misdemeanor with a penalty of 30 days imprisonment and, or, a $250 fine.
