Louisiana Smoking Laws

E-Cigs:

Beginning August 1st, the sale of e-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) will be banned to anyone under 18 years of age in Louisiana. These vaporized alternatives to cigarettes are now being treated the same as other tobacco products.

The Law

Louisiana smoking law states that it is unlawful for any person under the age of 18 to purchase or possess tobacco or tobacco products. The exception is if the minor possesses tobacco under the supervision of a parent, spouse, or legal guardian in a private residence or during the extent of the minor’s employment. LA REV. STAT. ANN. § 14:91.8

The Penalties

Fines (for a minor buying tobacco)

• No more than $50 for the first violation
• $100 for the second violation
• $250 for the third violation
• $400 for the subsequent violations

Fine (for a minor possessing tobacco)

• $50 for each offense

If you choose not to pay the fine, you may attend a court hearing to challenge the citation
