Subject: BS - Smoking in cars with kids
Ontario has recently added another anti-smoking law. No one is allowed to smoke in a car if any of the passengers is under 16 years old. The second person to be ticketed for this was a smoking driver who had a fifteen year old smoker in his car. While the driver was being ticketed, the fifteen year old girl stepped out of the car and lit up a smoke. In Ontario it is legal for children to smoke; it's just not legal to give or sell cigarettes to anyone under 19 years. Does this mean that in a car carrying a passenger under 16, the passenger is allowed to smoke, but the driver isn't?
Jim, you've been around for a fairly long time, but you don't post as a registered member - and only registered members are allowed to start non-music (BS) threads. I'll let this one go, but maybe you should think about registering.
