Can you smoke under the age of 18 in Ohio?

Answer 1

Yes. As per Ohio Revised Code 2151.87:

(B) No child shall do any of the following unless accompanied by a parent, spouse who is eighteen years of age or older, or legal guardian of the child:

(1) Use, consume, or possess cigarettes, other tobacco products, or papers used to roll cigarettes;

(2) Purchase or attempt to purchase cigarettes, other tobacco products, or papers used to roll cigarettes;

(3) Order, pay for, or share the cost of cigarettes, other tobacco products, or papers used to roll cigarettes;

This states that as long as parent, spouse, or legal guardian age 18 or above, is present, a minor may purchase, use, order, and possess.

Answer 2

Yes, that's why it's called 'underage'. You are not of age to smoke.
