Man arrested in LeRoy, NY for giving cigarettes to a minor

They are getting tough in LeRoy when man is arrested for giving a cigarette to a minor and charged with unlawful dealing with a child and endangering the welfare of a child.

This may seem extreme but nicotine is one of the most addictiing and deadly drugs in American. It has always puzzled me why, we as a society, have had more lenient attitudes about alcohol, pot, and other drugs and ignored tobacco. Tobacco is far more addicting and deadly than alcohol and/or street drugs. It is heartening to see LeRoy police take tobacco seriously.
