According to the Sale of Tobacco to Minors Act, “Any person who violates any provision of this Act is guilty of a petty offense and for the first offense shall be fined $200, $400 for the second offense in a 12-month period, and $600 for the third or any subsequent offense in a 12-month period.” Therefore, the fine is levied against the clerk selling the tobacco product to the minor.
