Which act involves selling tobacco to a child under 18?

• A. A person sells tobacco in any form to a child less than 18
• B. A person tattoos the body of a child less than 18
• C. A person allows a child into a bar
• D. A person gives alcohol to a minor

Answer: (A)

Selling tobacco to someone under 18 is illegal. The statement that a person sells tobacco in any form to a child less than 18 directly matches the prohibited act, since the law aims to prevent sales of tobacco to minors and covers all tobacco products, not just cigarettes. This broad phrasing—“in any form”—ensures that any tobacco product is included, making it the precise description of the offense in the question. The other options describe separate offenses involving minors (tattooing a minor, allowing a minor into a bar, or giving alcohol to a minor) and do not pertain to selling tobacco, so they don’t fit the scenario.
