Petition Action

let people at the age of 16 purchase cigarettes, lighters, and other related equipment

Additional Information

since it is legal at the age of 16 to smoke cigarettes, it is daft to see that you have to wait till your 18 to buy them. this leads to children buying tobacco without knowing it's origin and making it ever more dangerous and harmful. upping the age limit would save lives and also stop and illegal trading of tobacco.
