Are e-cigarettes tobacco products? Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) (vaporizers or e-cigarettes) may contain various amounts of tobacco-based nicotine, synthetic nicotine, or some have no nicotine at all. However, many states are banning the sale of e-cigs to minors since they are considered to be delivering an addictive substance (nicotine) and a gateway to using other drugs.
Indiana smoking law states that it is unlawful for any person under the age of 18 to purchase, possess, or accept tobacco or tobacco products. IND. CODE § 35-46-1-10.5
In Indiana, there are penalties in place for minors who use tobacco products. The fine for such offenses can be as high as $500. This financial consequence serves as a deterrent to discourage minors from engaging in tobacco use and emphasizes the seriousness of violating tobacco regulations.
It's important to note that if a minor chooses not to pay the fine, they have the option to attend a court hearing to challenge the citation. This provides an avenue for minors to contest the charges and present their case before a court.
By imposing fines, Indiana aims to discourage underage tobacco use and promote compliance with the law. Minors should be aware of the potential financial burden associated with these penalties and understand the health risks associated with tobacco products. Adhering to the regulations and paying the fines, if applicable, is crucial to ensure legal compliance and protect the well-being of minors in Indiana.
