Nae fags until your 18?

Good idea imo

As a lot of weans get hooked on fags due to pier pressure

Thoughts?

good idea, but the under 18 year old kids will just get their older friends to get them for them. there are always around the system. would like to see cigarettes banned but that is never going to happen because of the tax that the goverment gets from them.

peer pressure is defenatly a factor expecally in the ned community, it's like if you don't smoke you are a outcast and you will get battered etc it's just stupid.

Raiseing the age to 18 will meanmore of the neds will have to get older people to get them their fags so their will still be a problem but just make it harder for them to get a hold on and fags.

I'm of the opinion that there should be photo ID card spefic for Drink and fags which you would need to apply for. That way if you get caught selling fags to weans you would lose your Card

If your talking about legal age to buy cigarettes. Thats how it is in the states. And I can still see younger kids smoking due to peer pressure. Never smoked a cigarette myself in my life though.

that card system depends on someone catching you though.

True enough would cost too much £££ to carry it out effectively

no I know how it works it should be the shopkeeps should keep an eye on youths outside their shop.

The ned asks an older person to buy them fags, Ned gives the person the money needed, person goes inside while ned hides, person comes out ned collects fags and then smashes shop window.

I have seen it happen exept from the window part I heard it off a ned in class.

yeah, campaigns are starting to work but its more effective with the older population. peer pressure at schools make it much more difficult, as they think its being grown up. it will take a gradual change over time to reverse this.

but if u make the smoking age higher there will be more under age smokers
