It's incredible just how many people are naive with the actual laws!. I see these questions all day long, and its just humorous to see the replies!.
It is illegal for people under 18 to purchase cigarettes!. That's fundamentally understood!. It is also illegal to buy cigarettes for people under 18 if you are of legal age!. It is illegal to give a minor a cigarette!.
However, in most states (I know this is true in MA), there is no specific law prohibiting a minor from smoking the cigarette!. They are therefore allowed to smoke a cigarette, if they happen to have one!. There is no legal way to obtain them, but possession of cigarettes is not illegal!. Smoking of cigarettes is not illegal by minors, as long as they follow the "rules" (not inside a school, etc)!.
Actually, it's sorta how alcohol works!. You can't buy until your 21!. You can't give minors alcohol if you are old enough to buy!. You can't buy for minors!. But, most states allow minors to drink if they do so in their house with a parent supervising!. How many are willing to take that exception is probably small, but it's still there!. also, most states allow a minor spouse to drink if their spouse is 21+, but not in a restaurant/bar!. Some states further allow minors to drink at family reunions and weddings, as long as it is on private property!.
So, basically, someone steals their parents cigarettes and smokes them when they are under 18!. The only law they broke was associated with the stealing!. After that, no laws were broken!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't believe that technically the act of smoking is illegal!. However, it is illegal to purchase cigarettes if you're under 18, to steal cigarettes, or to give cigarettes to a minor!. So there is NO legal way of obtaining cigarettes, therefore someone will get in trouble if they're caught smoking those cigarettes, depending on the situation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
it's illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to smoke, or even buy them!. if caught they could face a fine of either jail time or community service sometimes even money, depending on where they live!. so its best if you're under 18 not to smoke because it's not really worth the consequences!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It is illegal to buy, possess, or smoke them!. The fine in California for smoking if you are a minor is $75 the first time you are caught!. Repeat offenses can result in community service!.
It is also illegal to give a minor a cigarette!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It is also illegal to give a minor a cigarette!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes - if its illegal to buy them, then its also illegal to smoke them!. The fact that theyre also stealing the cigs from their parents is also a criminal act, and its up to these parents to decide whether to inform the police about their children's actions!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
