However, underaged children can be in a bar with an adult <br />parent or guardian. And, without adequate supervision, they could <br />use the cigarette machine. <br />If we are to change the ordinance to allow cigarette vending <br />machines in a bar (or in a country club), I feel we should regulate <br />the placement of the machine and require that they be located in <br />plain view of a bartender or other employee and not in a hallway or <br />other place out of sight. <br />L
