CIGARETTE QUESTION
Can a Town Prohibit Boys
From Using hem?
4 North Carolina Statute forbds II Under ! I
Years Ct Age; and Tw .n'y Seven States
Have Similar Law.

Has any North Carolina town right
to prohibit youths under age from smok-
ing cigarettes?
The case of the young local editor of
the Elizabeth City Tar-Heel has brought
this question up recently.
few days ago this youthful newspaper
man, Mr.. w. o. Saunders, was arrested
for smoking cigarette within the cor
porate limits of Elizabeth City.
The Board of Aldermen of that place
had recently passed an ordinance making
/ an offense subject to fine for any minor
to smoke cigarettes upon the streets OF
Elizabeth City.
Mr.. Saunders, when arrested, plead
guilty, and Mayor Wilson imposed the
stipulated fine. The prisoner refused to
pay the fine or give bonds saving: '"Thc
law is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, arbitrary for a
tree-horn American people," He was
locked up, refusing all offers of friends
to 60 on his bond.
All this has caused a News and Obser~
yer reporter to try to dig out the law
on the subject. and the following is the
result of his delving into law books
There has been no statute and nc de.
cision in North Carolina directly apply
ing to case like the one cited The
statute that comes nearest TO touching
the case in question is chapter 276, Of
the Laws of 1891, which forbids the sale
of cigarettes to boys under II years of
age, and also forbids the use of them
by boys Under that age, making the viola
ton of the law misdemeanor.
inn.
says that The statute of New York, 1890
chapter All, prohibits the use of cigar
cites by children apparently under 16
years of age in any public street or place
of public resort making the violation
thereof a misdemeanor.
In note at the bottom Of the page,
Prentice SAYS that Colorado and Rhode
Island passed similar statutes in 1882,
and that in "a other States similar laws
have been enacted.
Whether a town can pass an ordinance
of this kind and increase the age limit
is probably matter which will make
the validity of the ordinance dependent
Upon whether a court would hold the
regulation reasonable or not.
Some other North Carolina laws re-
earding minors are the Act OF 1897, chap
ter 27S which makes it a misdemeanor
to allow minors to enter bar-room or
billiard-roo after notification from par
ents or guardians not to do so.
The statute of 1899, chapter 100, which
makes it Il misdemeanor to sell or give
away spirituous or malt liquors TO any
boy under q years of age, (Which last
statute by the wav, seems to have es-
capped the attention of judges and solicit
tors).
Further, there IS a statute OF 1898,
chapter 514. which makes it INSIDE
meanor to sell. offer to sell, or give, a
deadly weapon to any minor.
