Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan
Cigarettes and minors.
If I were to provide pornography to a 13
year old, I could be charged for such. If
a parent smokes in a car with their 2
year old inside, how does that not
constitute providing tobacco to a minor?

Re: Cigarettes and minors.
that's just the law. and the law doesn't define "providing tobacco to a minor" as smoking in their presence.
Re: Cigarettes and minors.
That analogy does not make sense. If you give porn to a 13 year old then you get charged for it. If you smoke in a car you're not contributing to the delinquency of a minor because you never actually gave the tobacco to the minor.
Re: Cigarettes and minors.
It's illegal to provide minors with tobacco. The legislature has not made it illegal to smoke in the presence of minors.
