18 or 21?

Post Reply New Topic

I remember when they made the rule you had to be 18 to smoke in America a few years ago. It's stupid though, if kids want to cough, stink, and die, let 'em. They've heard the anti-smoking propaganda since they were in the womb. They know it isn't good for them.

I say keep it at 18. Regardless of age, they'll all get lung cancer and emphysema in the end.

In Australia we have 13 year old smokers, and 14 year old Chain Smokers.

-our legal age is 18 --if the 14 year old seems to be able to go the local MilkBar (Mini Convenince store) and get them, then what's the piont.

Yup I'm a smoker - even though I wish I wasn't , I ain't going to impose my rules upon anyone else.

i would like to close the cigarette industry,reduce the production of alcohol and death penalty for drug traffickers lets see how u like it...
education its better than censorship,good parents raise good kids(about most of the times).
and age level does not stop a person from doing something,when u want it u get it.

i say 18,but those adults who sell to them get serious convictions and if you try to buy being underage the owner of the store has to give you a 3 feet off the ground wedgy,maybe?.

the drugdealer has spred the drug among the people,to hurt them and make them stupid,and he knows this,so u want to go on and do it well try it,u know the consequences also,so give it a try,the next guy is going to think twice before doing what dead guy did...get a job and work like a nice person.
it doesnt make it worst,it takes care of problems,it is not primitive,its a solution quicker and cheaper than the actual policy.
the actual procedures on drug selling makes it worst,it creates gangs and competition,arrests,innocent lives,more drug use which have an impact in other things resulting a bigger problem.

I'd go further: If you are old enough to suffer....

Let's put the age down to 12.

To alleiviate suffering, of course.
