Kiosk is not afraid to sell alcohol to school children

People's deputies of Ukraine proposes to toughen the penalties for selling alcohol and cigarettes. "Evening Kharkiv" held its own "investigative experiment": we checked whether the fear in Kharkov kiosks selling children "poison"
Alas None of the tested our stalls to earn a children's health did not hesitate.
Grouplets young smokers with school knapsacks, meet at the underground "Soviet". 13-year-old girls feel shy, but recognized that they have never refused to sell beer and cigarettes. Interestingly, polluting the young ladies themselves amazed at the indifference of adults.
- Quietly buying smokes at any kiosk - assures eighth-Jan. - At least, none of the sellers are still not even think to ask about age.

- Oh, yes, we smoked even small fry - pyatiklashki! Is it a cigarette in the school, parents issue? Of course, themselves buying. The child, not a child - for the aunts in the stands there is no difference - inhaling, resents her friend Sonya.
- Buy any slaboalkogolku or beer in kiosks can without any problems. Well, I just yesterday bought a easy to a brandy in the shop - boasts devyatiklassnitsa Dasha.
To check whether so indifferent "skurivayut and solder rebyatnyu, we went on the stands with the" adult "tobacco-alcohol range.
Shoppers agreed to become a 15-year-old schoolgirl. By the investigative experiment prepared carefully. Today's teens often try to look older, but we decided to help even a little bit "careless" to sellers of alcohol and smoking: a girl dressed in a stressed teenage things. And to crown the image of Our Children "actress" resolutely refused to make-up.
- What are you, madam? - Apparently spotted the young age of the women customers, ironically asked the saleswoman, middle-aged. And, without delay, gave the child a pack of cigarettes.
At another kiosk crowded gaggle of adolescents. Counted the money, the children "at all" ordered a few cans of beer and chips.
- Book more - hurried our "model" and also not buy beer.
- I was always looked as if I were chewing gum or candy please - shared experiences, our helper. - Do not even thought for a minute.
However, we decided to give the kiosk last chance. In the hope remains the conscience of those who sell their children to "adult" products, "rejuvenated" "model" to the maximum: the school openly tied ponytails and agreed that it will communicate with vendors emphasized children's voice and very indecisive. It turned out, in vain tried: our beer "Centerfolds" would be issued, probably even if it only has "agukala" in a baby carriage, and was in the infant cap.
None (!) From a dozen kiosks did not disdain to make children's health.
