Is there any country which allows people under 18 to legally buy cigarettes?
I’m not sure about ‘legally’, but in Mexico I’ve seen 12-year olds buying smokes.
There are a few, although this appears to be far from an exhaustive list.
It used to be 16 over here in Germany, but the laws have changed (since sometime 2007, I believe). Cigarette vending machines now check your age via a bank card you have to insert.
From the list:
Palau
Over the age of **9 **for sale. Vending Machines:Banned
Ukraine
Minimum age to purchase cigars and other related tobacco is 12 years
:eek:
Well, you know, 8-year-old Ukranians have access to vending machines. We don’t want them corrupted!
