How much is the second ticket for Minor in possession of Tobacco in the state of California?

My first ticket for minor in possession of tobacco was $290. The cop that gave me my second ticket said it was going to be more since it is my second one, but how much more?

    The officer was wrong. The maximum punishment increases for a second offense of selling tobacco to a minor, but not for minor in possession. (Pen C 308(b).) However, the fine will be a bit higher because of additional assessments added this year.

    I do wonder why it is worth hundreds of dollars to you to so dramatically increase your chances of lung cancer and heart disease, though.
