N.C.P.I.—Crim. 272.14
KNOWINGLY SELLING OR GIVING CIGARETTES, CUT TOBACCO, CIGARETTE WRAPPING PAPERS, SMOKELESS TOBACCO, OR TOBACCO PRODUCT TO A PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YEARS. MISDEMEANOR.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [[sold] [gave] [furnished] [provided]]
[[cigarettes] [cut tobacco] [cigarette wrapping papers] [a smokeless tobacco
product] [(describe other tobacco product)]] to a person under the age of 18
years.
And Second, that the defendant knew that this person was under the
age of 18 years.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant knowingly [[sold] [gave] [furnished]
[provided]] [[cigarettes] [cut tobacco] [cigarette wrapping paper] [a
smokeless tobacco product] [(describe other tobacco product)]] to a person
whom the defendant knew to be under the age of eighteen, it would be your
duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or if you have a
reasonable doubt as to one or both of these things, it would be your duty to
return a verdict of not guilty.
