Today when I picked up my son for elementary school, I saw 3 kids (clearly under the age of 18 and carrying back packs) smoking cigarettes in front of the school's bike rack. When I asked them where did they get the cigarettes from, they said "down at the local quick store"...WTF!!! They could've been telling me the truth or making up a "spare of the moment" lie...either way I made them put out and step on their cigarettes!!! If they told me the truth, then some of these businesses clearly dont care about and/or completely ignore the smoking laws in place!!! My question is...Do you think that the laws and penalties in place aganist selling and/or promoting ciasrettes to minors are tough enough for business, big or small, to follow???
A) Yes..they are effective!!!
B) No...the laws needs to be revised and the penalties need to be more severe aganist businesses and individuals who contribute to the deliquency of minors!!!
