About five customers smoking Turkish water pipes at the Lux cafe at 1401 Mackay, just north of St. Catherine, were handed $90 tickets by police Thursday night.

Police ticketed those who they saw smoking the pipes, while others at the same table not smoking the contraption were not ticketed.

The reason that these tickets were handed out?
The owner apparently does not have the special license required for said shisha pipe device.
How customers would know or be considered responsible for the owner having this license is not entirely clear, but that's just Montreal, I guess.
The owner apparently told some, or all of those ticketed that he would pay their tickets.
It is said that a similar raid took place a few days ago with similar results, although we can't confirm that. (Shisha pipes are stupid. Police are stupid. The owner of this place...yup. Should I go on? - Chimples)
