'Boy' Whose Smoking Photo Turned out to be a matter of offense in Turkey
A “young boy” who caused an Internet meltdown by smoking in the stands of a football stadium in Turkey has turned out to be a fresh-faced father.
However, the limelight was stolen by a “young boy” caring a green Bursaspor scarf and shirt in the stands after TV cameras spotted him puffing away at a cigarette in a very calm manner as the two teams prepared to take the field.

Although football fans expressed shock at the sight, the outrage caused by the viral clip was short-lived as Turkish media identified the “child” as a 36-year-old Bursaspor supporter.
In fact, the man had even brought along his kid to the game as they witnessed the “Green Crocodiles” claim a 2-1 win over Fenerbahce,
Smoking in public places in Turkey is prohibited under law and carries a fine of 69 Turkish lira (approx. Rs1,151), though it is not clear if authorities will be taking away the matter any further.
