Forums Forums General Forums A - Z Lifestyle 18yrs To Buy Ciggies

I heard this as a passing comment on a news report,
but next month the legal age limit to buy ciggies
is going up to 18 years.

Another reason for me to pack in with my boyish good looks
i would find it difficult to buy them lol

Im not sure if this is true? Surely they would have to give people some sort of notice?

You sure they are not just voting on the law next month with the prospect of introducing it at a later time?

narr they said something like, "and from next month the age will rise from 16 to 18" ??

Weird, I thought they would have made it more known. If it does come in, shop keepers will still be serving 16 year olds and 16 years will still be buying fags lol, everyone will be breaking the law cos no bugger knows but we lmao!

found somthing



bbc clicky

Wow!

the reason we dont remember they decided to let us
know about it on jan 1st

Comin into effect In October....its been displayed and talked about for quite a while....i work in the coop cross Lane..and ive known about this since christmas.....i know lesser shops will still serve people....but i ID anyone and evryone now..if they look remotely younger than me...and especially if they have a shaved head and a tracksuit....if i get caught i can get fined..and i dont wanna get fined just cos some s****y little kid who hasnt gone through puberty yet thinks hes cool by smokin in front of his mates.....i fe***n hate the blighters i tell ya now

i'm not a smoker, but am confused bout the governments stance on the habit. The government is clamping down on smokers so much now, yet earns so much in tax from smokers... so if they try to stop people smoking, the will lose revenue will they not ? therefore they will have to recoup that lost money, probably by putting taxes up for everyone else... so smoking/smokers are good for something, keeping other taxes down...

mark..... boyish looks ? r u sure they dont serve u cos u cant see over the counter.... ?

Hence why the petrol is going up 2p per litre soon, it would probably have been a 1p rise, but they are losing so much revenue from quitting smokers its becoming too much.

They should legalise "social drugs", its not doing any good them being illegal, if people want them they can get them and they could make a killing on the tax.

Lol.

this is y i hate this country and want to emmigrate asap !

my sentiments exactly, legalise Cannabis and prostitution (of both I dont use) tax the hell out of them, put illegal dealers out of business, and lower tax on petrol.

Stupid really...cos prostitution is the oldest known profession in the world......


Things like Cigarettes dont bother me really...except when people do them around me....one of my mates just wont give up...and i know its his choice and all that baloney...but if im drivin and im in the car with him...i have to stop every now and then just so he can have one.....cos theres no way in hell im lettin him smoke in le car.


Bah..what to do

I have some patches you can have for when he gets in the car with you lol

Saves you stopping lol

yea...ive told him bout them.....but he reckons they dont beat the real thing etc blah blah.....basically he needs to take his head out of his a**
