The point was that I was hoping they were empty, since carrying two cans full of gas while smoking a cigarette is pretty damn stupid, so I am hoping they are empty.

Didn't want to judge a photo and say that lady is stupid when I couldn't be sure so I was giving the benefit of the doubt

I see. I initially thought you were suggesting it was a staged photo with empty jerry cans.

Smoking around gas cans is definitely not a good idea, but new cans are pretty good at not even leaking vapor even when tipped over.
