That is terrible!!! Of course it won't make any difference to me, because I live in the U.S. But for all you people in England and Wales who will be effected by this new, discrimonatory law, I am with you!!!!
I'm not saying anyone should, or shouldn't be smoking, but a law like this is age descrimination, if they don't want people to smoke then they should try to educate people about the health effects or something, NOT make descrimitory laws. Of course, haveing a minimum age limit of 16 is also discrimination, but this new law is even MORE discriminatory.
Fuck modern governments...
intrepidus6 Reviewed by intrepidus6 on . In the news this morning... In England and Wales the legal age for buying tobacco products is being raised in October from 16 to 18. It's an attempt to stop kids under 16 buying tobacco illegally, and to deter younger people from taking up smoking. Personally I don't think there will be a huge drop in the number of underage smokers. I don't know, maybe I'm just bitter because I won't be able to buy cigarettes til November 2008 come October heh.
