Law Gives Teen Smokers Yet Another Reason To Kick The Habit.
The cost of cigarettes for teen smokers just went up -- to $75. That's the new penalty for possession of cigarettes by minors in California. Senate Bill 1849, which went into effect January 1, 1997, has made it illegal for anyone under 18 to possess tobacco products. The new law allows penalties of up to $75 for minors who are convicted of buying or possessing tobacco products and makes the maximum community service requirement 30 hours.
