I "think" (and, please, correct me if I am wrong) that is is not illegal to smoke under the age of 18, only to purchase the cigarettes to those underage. Again, but it is something we areled to believe, and I could be way off, but it seems i heard that somewhere before.

One night Ralph and I were buying a bottle a wine, did not get carded at all ( we are both of age). In the next aisle over two "kids" (I'g guess17 or 18) were carded for buying grenadine. This has NO alcohol init, but is sold inthe same dept. becuase it is a mixer. the clerk did not want to sell it to them becuase they were underage. Prob. the clerk did not want to get in trouble ( and I understand that), but how silly is that? Grenadine is what is in "Shirley Temples" !!! Anything that is a "mixer" can't be sold to those under 21? Does this include Coke, jello, orange juice, cranberry juice etc etc etc...
