Makes you wonder how any of us grew up.
But the age of sexual consent in the UK is 14.
Ontario has had this law since 2009, Ontarians can not smoke in a motor vehicle with passengers under 16.
A vehicle ,on Ontario’s major highway 401 east of Toronto , was pulled over and the driver was charged for smoking with a 15 year old passenger in the vehicle.
While the officer was writing up the ticket the 15 yr old passenger exited the vehicle and proceeded to light up a cigarette and smoke it. Only one fine issued, that was the one for the driver for smoking while the 15 yr old smoker was in the vehicle.
Mixed thoughts on it. I grew up in an era when kids were regularly subjected to being in rooms/cars with smokers but I wouldn’t smoke in a closed area with kids in it today. Heck, I wouldn’t smoke in my own house or car with nobody else around because I don’t like the smell it leaves behind. Smoking is my last real vice and I really need to dump it.
Nanny government at work. is there a fine for passing gas in car with any one under age in it?? will that be next. How about eating?
About 40 years too late for me (My parents, as well as my carpooling buddy’s father, smoked with the windows rolled down).
Looks like the kids will be walking to school.
It is illegal in the State of California, as well.
This should be interesting.
While I’ve never smoked, most of my girlfriends in high school and early college—ages 14 to 18—did.
The Brown shirts have spoken!!!
Yeah.... That’s going to work!
