Anything tobbacco related you have to be legal age, which is 18 in most places. Not all places do that here though (Canada). Actual tobacco, yes, you get carded. Some places even if you look under 25, but for lighters and shit, most places will just sell it to you if you look old enough.

That means no lighters, matches, or even rolling papers. Fucking papers man! Thin pieces of paper with a strip of glue on them, oh no!

I know, it's fucking retarded if you ask me. I've only been carded a few times in my life for buying lighters, and even papers once.
