Penn Breaks Smoking Bylaw
Sean Penn may have a $105 reminder of Canada.
The Toronto Star is reporting that Health Promotion Minister Jim Watson, is pushing to see Penn charged for violating the provincial smoking ban. The actor was seen lighting up inside during a press conference this week while promoting “All the King’s Men” at the Toronto International Film Festival.
“It was such a flagrant breach of the law. It absolutely should be a target,” said Michael Perly, executive director of the Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco told the Star.
“He should be charged,” Watson said during a press conference which was celebrating the first 100 days of the province’s smoking ban.
The Star reports that almost 500 tickets have been issued since the ban began in May to citizens and establishments who have broken the law.
