§ 24-3-3-5 — "Cigarette"

As used in this chapter, "cigarette" means any
product that contains nicotine, is intended to be burned or heated under
ordinary conditions of use, and consists of or contains:
(1) any roll of tobacco wrapped in paper or in any substance not
containing tobacco;
(2) tobacco, in any form, that is functional in the product, which,
because of its appearance, the type of tobacco used in the filler,
or its packaging and labeling, is likely to be offered to, or
purchased by, consumers as a cigarette; or
(3) any roll of tobacco wrapped in any substance containing
tobacco which, because of its appearance, the type of tobacco
used in the filler, or its packaging and labeling, is likely to be
offered to, or purchased by, consumers as a cigarette described in
subdivision (1).
The term "cigarette" includes "roll-your-own" tobacco (i.e., any tobacco
which, because of its appearance, type, packaging, or labeling, is
suitable for use and likely to be offered to, or purchased by, consumers
as tobacco for making cigarettes). For purposes of this definition of
"cigarette", nine-hundredths (0.09) of an ounce of "roll-your-own"
tobacco constitutes one (1) individual "cigarette".
