well i really dont care if they lower or raise the age, but it doesnt sense if the govt bans sales of ciggareets to those under 19 and not charge them when they are smoking it. they should just get rid of the law and shopkeepers shouldtn demand id. or, they can stop the minors from smoking if they keep the "no sales" law in effect. i hope you get what i mean. |

I understand but i think the cops have better things to do with their time and if they dont we need fewer cops. |

sorry but that would be outrageous...
would you accept that your kids can go to the local store and buy beer if they're 14???
ITS NOT ILLEGAL to drink beer, but would you let kids go and buy it?
same applies to cigarettes. |

well i kind of agree, but remeber, you cant stop kids from everything, otherwise they will try to find their own ways, which is no good. |

so is it better to do nothing? and give full access to alcohol and cigarettes? while we're at it, let them go rent xxx movies and get in strip clubs and nightclubs.
I don't think so. :gsmile: |

Kids do it anyways. Restricting them makes it even more taboo and makes kids want it even more. I think a sensible approach to kids with smokes and booze is a better way to go. Introduce them to it gradually and teach them responsibilty. As it is now, you reach a magic artifical number and boom you go from allowing nothing to everything. The results are that North Americans abuse alcohol like mad. |

So the cops can pull up to a group of smokers and demand everyone produce ID? I hope not! |
