I'm not going to lie, when I was 17 me and my friends were at the gas station every weekend buying coronas and they didn't even care. It's way too easy these days to get alcohol, that's why there's so many teenagers getting killed in accidents.

im sure its the same in US as it is here in Canada... but teenagers buying cigarettes wayyy too easy, even tho there are stiff laws against it.
this law is broken daily, all too often, often to the detriment of the victims, not necessarily now, but certainly in the future.

here is the law as it is in Ontario:-
Ontario's Tobacco Control Act

Ontario's Tobacco Control Act sets rules about selling and smoking tobacco. Its purpose is to reduce smoking, especially among young people. It also limits people's exposure to second-hand smoke in public places.
There are other municipal, provincial and federal laws on tobacco.

Selling or Supplying Tobacco

AGE
You cannot sell or supply tobacco to anyone under 19 years of age (the age under federal law is 18).
It is not illegal for someone under 19 to have tobacco. But the person who sold or gave it to them has broken the law.

IDENTIFICATION
If someone appears to be under 19, you must ask for identification that proves they are 19 or older to sell them tobacco.
The only exception is if you know the person is 19 or over (for example, a family member).

If you sell tobacco, ask for one of these pieces of identification :

an Ontario driver's licence
a Canadian passport
a Canadian citizenship card
a Canadian Armed Forces ID card
a photo card issued by the LLBO.
If the customer is not from Ontario or Canada, you may accept other identification. It should show a recent photo and be issued by a government authority.

Drivers speeding through an active school zone. My crossing duty site is inside an active school zone and I see drivers speed through it everyday. If I could give out tickets, they would be hit with a ticket that starts at 500.00 and adds 10.00 for every mile over the posted 15 mph limit.
