[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 496556, member: 59"] When difficult child was in high school and the school resource officer found cigarettes on kids he just took them and threw them in the trash. I think even he realized it was very difficult to enforce except not to allow it on property. difficult child told me just yesterday that one day after school she was at a red light with a cigarette in her mouth and a police car pulled up next to her, rolled down his window and said "you know you have to be 18 to smoke those right?" He jst rolled up his window and drove away. I'm not in favor of young people smoking, in fact I wish cigarettes didn't exist, but there is no real penalty for underage smoking, they are not going to arrest a teen for smoking, and there are so many bigger issues they need to deal with. The best we can do is continue educating kids on the dangers of smoking and be a good example to our kids. Nancy [/QUOTE]
