If I Got Caught Smoking Under 18 Could I Get In Trouble?

Question

i know you have to be 18 to buy cigarettes but if the police caught me smoking under 18 could i get in trouble?

Answer 1

probably not, stop smoking! evey cigarette takes 5 minutes from your life...

Answer 2

it depends on the laws of your state/province.

most likely no.

Answer 3

There is no law regarding smoking of cigarettes only the purchasing of them.

Answer 4

Not likely, in most jurisdictions - no one will prosecute a minor for that, and it's likely not even illegal.

However... the person who sold you the cigarettes could get into trouble if he's caught, and possibly your parents or guardian.

But why would you want to smoke? By now everybody knows how bad it is for you.
