10 for a first offense 25 for a second offense or 100 for a third offense the act adds that it shall bj tbo duty of the constable to seize any cigarettes or tobacco in any form in the possession of any person apparently under the age of 16 years whom he unds using tobacco in any form on the street or in a public place minors thus found with tobaicco in their possession must tell where they got
