In the state of of Massachusetts "Someone who sells or gives Cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snuff or tobacco of any form to a minor not being that minor's parent or legal guardian shall be punished by no less a one hundred dollar fine for the first offense, no less than a two hundred dollar fine for the second offense and no less than a three hundred dollar fine for the third offense and subsquent offense." I'm not sure if it's a infraction or a misdemeanor but it isn't very harsh at all big stores like CVS and Stop & Shop that get caught in stings: It means nothing to them since they make about $50,000 a week. But as far as people "older friends" buying tobacco for minors it's just a big A** annoying fine (And possibly a criminal record, if it is indeed a misdemeanor
