Kentucky Smoking Laws

E-Cigarettes

According to one report, Kentucky has the highest rate of youth smoking in the country. As a response to this health concern, recent legislation was passed to ban the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. Here are the tobacco related laws for Kentucky:

The Law

Kentucky smoking law states that it is unlawful for any person under the age of 18 to possess, purchase, or use tobacco products. KY REV. STAT. ยง 438.350

The Penalties

In Kentucky, there are penalties in place for minors who use tobacco products. For a first offense, the minimum fine imposed is $50. This financial consequence reflects the seriousness of the violation and aims to deter minors from engaging in tobacco use. In addition to the fine, minors are also required to complete 20 hours of community service. This community service requirement provides an opportunity for minors to contribute positively to their communities and learn about the consequences of their actions.

In the event of a second offense, the minimum fine increases to $200. The escalation in the fine amount underscores the importance of preventing repeat offenses and emphasizes the gravity of disregarding tobacco regulations. Along with the increased fine, minors are also required to complete 40 hours of community service. This heightened community service commitment further reinforces the consequences of continued non-compliance with tobacco laws.

These penalties serve as a means to deter underage tobacco use and promote awareness of the associated health risks. By imposing fines and community service requirements, Kentucky aims to foster a sense of responsibility among minors and discourage future violations. It is essential for minors to understand the importance of adhering to tobacco regulations and the potential impact their choices can have on their own well-being and the well-being of their communities.
