It's 18 for fags now I think, used to be 16, I'm not sure but I think matches and lighters might be 18 as well.

You apparently also have to be 16 to buy a Relentless & The Daily Star now, I got ID'd by one woman when I bought them

Yeah it's ridiculous now, loads of shops have signs sayng that they have to ask for ID if you look under 25 which makes no sense. Why ID a 24 year old, if they look 24, and the the age limit is 18

I don't buy that Relentless but my annoying mate does, he's 13.

If that's true in England, because like I said I've never heard of it here, then it's a disgrace and they better not even attempt to bring it here.

More and more people are smoking at a young age now anyway, the fact they have/will put the age limit up is actually ******ing horrible.

What about 16 year olds who have started smoking and then suddenly they get told they can't for about 2 years.

I'm not sure if it's official or if some shops just choose to enforce a policy, because I've been buying Relentless for years and I never had any trouble buying the Daily Sport two years ago which is a lot more explicit than the Star lol, it was just this one lady who took exception to me filling my body with caffeine and exposing myself to soft pronogpraphy I guess. I managed to convince her just to sell me it though

Yeah, for smoking I think they put it up in England a few years back but that didn't happen in N.Ireland, not sure if it's now 18 over there though. It won't male that much of a difference anyway, most shops seem more leniant to selling cigarettes underage then to selling alcohol underage.

They must have thought she was underage, she had ID though so they gave her them.
