Although smoking itself is not illegal, there are many laws and policies that people must follow regarding smoking. Even though these laws do not totally prevent people from smoking, they help make it more inconvenient, therefore, helping reduce people from starting this horrid habit and increase the number of people wanting to quit.
Each individual country, state, community, and business have their own laws, rules, regulations, and mandates regarding tobacco usage.
Many schools across the country have strict polices and rules against tobacco use on campus. Most of these rules are consistent with the local and state laws that have been already set. Normally, these restrictions prohibit tobacco use by students, all school staff and faculty, parents, and school visitors while on school property, in school-vehicles, and while attending school-sponsored events away from school property. These rules help students and parents realize that there are consequences for their actions. These rules not only exist for the safety of the non-smokers, but to help smokers realize how bad tobacco truly is for them.
In the United States one must be 18 years or older in order to purchase tobacco products. Every business or organization must hang a 'WE CARD' sign ensuring that they follow this law. The attendant must ask for an id at the time of purchase.
