Is it illegal to give a cigarette to a minor?

By law minors can't buy cancer sticks, but no laws forbid a legal guardian from indulging them in that way, unlike the fact that they might get into hot water for letting them drink.

Providing alcohol to a minor is a criminal offence, and I don't think there are allowances for guardians anywhere there are such laws. Providing tobacco is not, though somebody who is not a guardian could get nailed on generalist controlled substance laws. Of course, letting an 8 year old smoke could get you in hot water with child support services, but a 16 yo... unlikely, unless there are additional medical or psychiatric issues involved.

Yes. Call Family and Children Services.

It is illegal ,but sometimes the parents that smoke leave the cigarrets box around in the house and dont see when they take some of them I think that they follow our examples.

Yes I would think this would be illegal. What kind of parent gives their kids cigarettes to her child. She might as well say go ahead get lung cancer.

Yes, but it's hard to prove that it happened. She and the boy could just say the boy bought them or got them elsewhere.

Yes.

Yes, it is. If Family Services knew, she'd be having some issues.

Very illegal.

Yes it is illegal.
