| A subtle shift in the topic: do you have a smoking age in the US or elsewhere? In the Netherlands (and (most?) other EU countries) you cannot purchase tobacco under 16.

| 16 in the UK too, but it's obviously not working. Go past any school in Britain and you will see 10-year-olds outside the school grounds puffing away!

| 18 here in the US. And places are legally obligated to card anyone and everyone that looks like they're younger than 27. Not that every store clerk does, but they'll get in trouble if the police decide to check. They're trying to crack down on smoking in general here. Pain in the butt - I'm a smoker. :P Err, and I haven't updated the site yet, Arden. Coming soon.

| Heh, that's when I turned 18 too. You could have gone anyway, they weren't very discriminating over it.

But maybe it's a good thing - exposing them to drugs (nicotine) and alcohol when they are young and have a more innocent, less jaded mind to see the inherent dangers. |
