SMOKING PREVENTION ACT.
Invercargill, October 24
Under the Juvenile Smoking Suppression Act, a boy, under 15 years of age, was charged with smoking a cigarette on a stair leading to the dress circle of the Theatre. The magistrate held that this was not a public place within the meaning of the Police Offences Act, and dismissed the case. He said that “if the Smoking Prevention Act was to be effective it should be made to apply to anybody found smoking, no matter where. In the meantime the Act must remain to a large extent a dead letter.”
