Ending Penalties for Minors Using or Buying Tobacco or Nicotine Products

This bill would remove legal penalties for minors who purchase, attempt to purchase, possess, or use tobacco products, vapor products, or alternative nicotine products. It would also apply to minors who use false identification for these purposes. The bill ends fines, misdemeanor charges, community service, and required participation in health programs for these offenses. These changes would repeal the relevant penalties outlined in current law for minors' possession or use of such products.
