Reds smoking hot?

Apparently the Cincinnati Reds got so excited after clinching the NL Central Division and their first playoff birth in the new millennia that they forgot to follow the law. Upon clinching the title some players decided to light up cigars to celebrate. After complaints from the public, the health department was called upon to investigate. (Click here for details)

Should the players be held accountable for breaking the law and fined, or should this case be chalked up as a celebration and let go? It appears no fines will be issued or disciplinary action taken, and I agree that nothing should happen. If these were not professional athletes this story would not even exist. It is a very minor problem, and I believe that simply telling baseball teams that in the future they should not smoke cigars in the locker room will solve the problems.
