Re: Alabama-Tobacco Use

According to Alabama state statute (Sections 28-11-13 & 14), it is unlawful for a minor to possess or use tobacco products. The penalty for violating this statute is the issuance of a citation-similar to a traffic ticket-but not criminal in nature. The fine can be anywhere from $10-50 and no court costs or other fees can be tacked on. The violation is not considered "criminal" and should not appear on one's permanent record as a criminal conviction.
