Passive smoking can test you positive!

passive-smoking

7 teenagers, five boys and two girls who were having dinner in restaurant on the terrace of 72° East pub juhu mumbai, where tested positive on drug even though none of them smoke. How? Well the restaurant is on the terrace of the pub, so while making their way to the restaurant they had to pass through the cloud of smoke where others where smoking and doing drugs, since it was the only way to the restaurant they had to walk pass it which lead them to inhale the smoke due to passive smoking.

When police raided the pub and held a post raid medical test, they were tested positive when they didn’t even smoke a cigarette. The seven teenagers allege that the raid and the post-raid medical examinations were conducted arbitrarily by the police: “No labels were put on the urine samples and tests were done in a jumbled fashion.

The seven teenagers are students of prestigious colleges in Mumbai and state in the petition that all have aspirations to take up higher studies either in India or abroad. They have told the court that if the case is kept pending, they will face difficulties in seeking passports, visas and admissions in foreign universities.
