E-cigarettes are getting a lot of press these days. Many consider them to be equally as harmful as cigarettes but they are being marketed to youth in desirable flavors. Georgia is in line with several other states looking to ban e-cigs from minors.
Georgia lawmakers voted to restrict e-cigarettes from minors.The bill imposes a $300 fine on any retailer who sells the noncombustible nicotine alternatives to persons under the age of 18.
A minor who buys, tries to buy or otherwise possesses the products would face up to 20 hours of community service.
Georgia smoking law states that it is unlawful for any person under the age of 18 to purchase, attempt to purchase, or possess tobacco or tobacco products. It is also unlawful for minors to misrepresent their age to obtain tobacco or tobacco products. The exception is if such minor is in the presence of their home and accompanied by a guardian or parent and the tobacco product is given to them; the guardian or parent must be present. GA. CODE ANN. § 16-12-171
In Georgia, penalties exist for minors found using tobacco products. As part of the penalty, minors may be required to complete 20 hours of community service. This aims to promote community involvement and provide an opportunity for education and personal growth.
Additionally, minors caught using tobacco products may be required to attend a tobacco education program. This program serves to educate them about the dangers and health risks associated with tobacco use, fostering awareness and encouraging informed decision-making.
These penalties aim to discourage minors from using tobacco products and prioritize their health and well-being. By engaging in community service and attending educational programs, minors have the opportunity to learn about the risks involved and make healthier choices for their future. Compliance with these penalties is essential for both legal compliance and personal development.
