In April of 2014, the Iowa Senate voted 37-12 to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes and alternative nicotine products to minors in Iowa. This means that minors can not purchase nor possess these vaporized alternative to cigarettes.
If you've received a citation for being a minor in possession or tobacco, then onlinedrugclass.com is here to help.
Iowa smoking law states that it is unlawful for any person under the age of 18 to smoke, use, purchase, attempt to purchase, or possess tobacco products. IOWA CODE §§ 453A.2 (2003), 453A.3 (2004), 453A.56 (1991) & 805.8C (4)
In Iowa, there are specific penalties for minors caught using tobacco products. For a first offense, a minimum fine of $50 is imposed. Additionally, minors are required to complete 8 hours of community service as part of their penalty. This combination of a fine and community service aims to discourage tobacco use among minors while encouraging community involvement and responsibility.
For a second offense, the minimum fine increases to $100. In addition to the fine, minors must complete 12 hours of community service. This heightened penalty reinforces the importance of complying with the law and discouraging repeat offenses.
Subsequent offenses carry a minimum fine of $250. In such cases, minors are still required to complete community service, with the mandate set at 16 hours. It is worth noting that if the fine is not paid, minors have the option to attend a court hearing to challenge the citation.
These penalties are implemented to deter minors from using tobacco products and promote adherence to the law. By combining fines and community service, the aim is to educate minors about the consequences of their actions and encourage positive contributions to their communities. Compliance with these penalties is essential to ensure the well-being and legal compliance of minors in Iowa.
