Melanie Griffith Caught in Smoking Scandal

Melanie Griffith has sparked outrage after being photographed lighting her 17 year old daughter Dakota's cigarette in Los Angeles, as the legal age for smoking in the U.S. is 18. The pair were spotted outside trendy Beverly Hills boutique Maxfield Wednesday taking a smoke break. Griffith was seen with a lit cigarette hanging out of her mouth, and was using a lighter to help her daughter spark up her own cigarette.
