Smoking a shisha in public

Heya guys, new to the site but only figured i'd ask a couple of questions so no need for a super long intro
I'm 16 and i got a present from my girlfriend, of which is a shisha.
And as far as i know, and have found out from police i.e (being arrest for other things) is that being 16 i'm allowed to smoke, have tobacco and other smoking equipment.
I got arrested the other day, and with possesion of cannibis, but there were other things in my bag such as, a mini-blow torch, a gas lighter refill, tobacco, rolling papers, filters, lighters etc etc. But the police only took the cannibis, nothing else which as far as i'm conserned means i'm allowed the rest of the stuff.
After my run in with police and court, i don't fancy getting in trouble again, so before i decide to set out and smoke this in public, was wondering if i could without getting in trouble.
I was planning (because i live in plymouth) that i would sit up on the area called the 'hoe' which is like a huge grassy area, which then drops down onto the sea front. It's a public place, like a park. I quite often sit up there with friends, and was planning on taking my shisha and smoking flavoured tobacco and salvia.
Would i get into trouble for having a large 'water pipe' on me, and would i get in trouble for doing it in a public place?
Thank you for reading ;D

I was thinking that (the age thing).
Though I am curious myself about smoking one of those in public...
Wrong, i originally stated in my first post it is legal to posses tobacco products at the age of 16, but you're unable to purchase them untill you are 18.
I just wish there was an easy place to look up and ask laws, so you didn't end up breaking them....
Good point Which is why i'll get a shisha wind cover, i use a blow torch to lighter instant lighting coals, so it normally works quite well. I've a roof garden, which can be very windy at time (living near the sea) and it stays lit really quite well
While Salvia is legal, I'd say don't smoke it on the "hoe" out of a Shisha.
Yup some take the risk and still allow smoking it in the premises but it seems to mostly be outside now. But they still supply the shisha.
The laws 18 didn't know. my mateb16 bough ciggys when she was 16 which has tobacco and nicoteen from news&booze and she gave me and my mates one to try she said if we dont we will die.
but don't you think it's best not to smoke shisha in public as you've been caught in the past?
:yes: yep
AFIK, fat mamma's on the bottom of north hill do shisha. that's probably your best bet.
But still, the reason why i want to sit on the hoe, and smoke a shisha. Is because, it's nice just to mellow out in the sun, with your friends, considering we're all pretty big smokers, everyone smokes and enjoys it.
From reading this, the overall opinion is that, yes it is legal to do so in public, just expect people to interfere.
Thanks
