Question: What is a juvenile in possession of tobacco products guilty of?
Answer: Any minor who has tobacco products in their possession is additionally guilty of an incorrigible act.(A.R.S. § 13-3622). Using or possessing tobacco products on school grounds (buildings, parking lots, fields, and vehicles) or at off-campus school sponsored events is a petty offense (delinquent act for minors). The law does not apply to adults using tobacco products as a part of a tobacco prevention or cessation program.(A.R.S. § 36-798.03). Smoking tobacco in locations such as elevators, busses, libraries, museums, and health care institutions is considered a public nuisance and dangerous to public health and is a petty offense (delinquent act for minors). (A.R.S. § 36-601.01). Punishment for delinquent or incorrigible acts may include community service, counseling, education programs, fines, probation and detention (juvenile jail). A.R.S. § 8-321 and 8-341)

Tobbaco is just down right nasty.. i belive that everyone will eventually come to a point where they are going to be pressured into doing it ... some of my best friends i know even smoke it out of a pipe.. there are many ways you can.. but just be careful.. my brother was on varsity baseball last year and him and a friend during practice had a dip in and the coach caught them and they both were kicked off. fined, community work, and counsling programs.. its not something mess with... so THINK!
