Smoke a cigarette and go to jail

It's not bad enough that the smoking nazis are trying to take away my ability to smoke a cigar in by favorite pub, but now they are taking people to jail for smoking in front of their kids.

A Caroline County woman was sentenced to 10 days in jail yesterday for defying a court order not to smoke around her daughter and son.


Tamara Silvius, 44, was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom by deputies, The Associated Press reported. Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Judge John H. Thomas said Silvius could post a $500 bond while she appeals his ruling.
