Prohibición de venta y posesión de tabaco a menores de 21 años

Arizona Title 13 - Criminal Code · 13-3622

Explicación Simple

No está permitido que los menores de 21 años compren o reciban productos de tabaco o vaporizadores. Si alguien les da estos productos, también están haciendo algo malo. Ambos pueden recibir multas.

Es como cuando un amigo mayor intenta comprar cerveza para un menor. Si lo atrapan, tanto el amigo como el menor pueden meterse en problemas.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan, de 19 años, va a una tienda y le pide a su amigo Pedro, que tiene 22, que le compre unos cigarrillos. Si la tienda se da cuenta, tanto Juan como Pedro podrían enfrentar multas por haber violado la ley.
