Redding Police have done another minor decoy tobacco sting. With state grant funding issued through Shasta County Health and Human Services, Redding Police have continued a series of tobacco sting operations, much like the alcohol stings that have been done for decades. On Thursday a decoy under the age of 21 entered 14 different stores in Redding and tried to buy tobacco products. Two of the shops were cited for selling to the minor. They were Smokers Paradise on Hilltop Drive and Smokers Smoke Shop on Lake Boulevard.
