Light one up...I dare you.

While reading the Lincoln Journal Star I came across an article that wants to target kids caught smoking by fining them $100 for having it in their possession. Senator Stuthman wants to outlaw the possession of tobacco for underage kids because he feels like it will keep the young from being addicted. I feel like this bill is a massive DTP! It's just like kids getting MIPs. They know that it happens but it doesn't stop them from getting wasted. Same with this bill, we know what will happen to us if we get caught....key word, caught. I think that lawmakers are honestly trying to make Nebraska a better place to live by making these bills, but at the same time I think we need to spend our money on better things. Don't we already have a law or something about this? Why don't we change the law about the age of being able to smoke. Make it harder to purchase them instead of seven 11 workers turning their heads. To scare you into this bill even more...it stays on your record forever. Scary right?
