high_society Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Im guessing it would be just like cigarettes, so yes it would be illegal for him to have at least the shisha (here in Oregon pretty sure it is like that everywhere. 18 years old to buy tobacco products.)

Hookah Man Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 yeah but a hookah is like a "bong" as a cop would view it and in ny u can use tobacco u just cant buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high_society Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 then I really dont know. If it is ok for him to have tobacco and smoke it, it would depend on your local laws and the officer that sees him. Some places dont consider it a drug thing. Where in NY you from, maybe some others would be able to help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 It's illegal for you to smoke anything when you're under 18 whether you're in public or not. If he was over, there would be no problem except that many cops view hookahs as "drug paraphaenalia". That's the way it is in Ca. I know you can't buy tobacco anywhere if you're under 18 but I'm not sure what the actual smoking laws are where you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaRose Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Be careful, in CA he could defenitly get in trouble especially if he will be smoking in public. Us over 18 people on the forum have had enough trouble being hasselled for having our hookahs, and we are all of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobes Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 yeah your little bro wiill get busted, im 18 and sometimes the cops try to take my QT so that wont work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksblazer Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I deffinatly would not let your little bro smoke hookah in public. A) Smoking hookah in public is going to draw attention to him. The cops will probably then show up and he will have to explain that "I'm smoking shisha and not pot" C) He's not 18 so the cops are not going to put up with him smoking a hookah in public. D) The cops will probably confiscate your hookah E) You don't want to let the cops know that you have supplied a minor with tobacco products.

Johnny_D Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 ksblazer has it right on the money. I personally cannot see why people want to smoke hookah in public. There are bars where you can enjoy hookah & beverages. [I grant there are times when you might want to smoke outside, like a Hookah BBQ on the beach For instance!] As far as i'm concerned it's bloody stupid and only proport's the idea of a hookah being a 'bong'. Which really grinds my gears. Sorry for ranting. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 JD, not everyone is lucky enough to have hookah bars and lounges and there's nothing wrong with a little sceanery... but that's just for smoking in public, not doing it because "OMG IT LOOKS SOO COOOOOL!". Don't let your little bro smoke in public... but interesting fact, I think it might have been changed by now, but in Alabama, it was only illegal to purchase cigs, not smoke them so at fairs and shit like that especially you'd see all these 14-16 year olds walking around smoking next to the cops and they couldn't do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Do not let your brother smoke in public But perhaps if you or an 18 year old person was there to claim your bro wasn't smoking it isn't guarentteed he will be in trouble but there is a good chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Chances are, with a question like that, the easiest thing is to just not do it. It's only going to end up as trouble for everyone involved, as the police try to figure out why a 16 year old is smoking in public, and where he got it.

Hexagon Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 There are different laws in different states/countries. In my country, You can't buy tobacco If you're under 18, but you can smoke it So read you states' laws :} Anyway, cops should be interested in hookah being not a traditional way of smoking :?
