Cigarettes... 19? - Retane - 02-24-2008
When did a law get passed that you have to be 19 to buy cigarettes all of a sudden?
Me and my sister were in Hess, the conveneint store(Hess), I was getting a sub and my sister came up to me telling me that I had to get my moms cigs cuz the dude said that its a law since the first of the year.
My sister has bought my moms cigarettes before... until now... and they actually have a sign saying "We card...No Tobacco under 19"
Is this bull crap for real?

I would think so.
Here in Canada it's a provincial thing, so I would imagine in the States it's something that varies from state to state.
Here legal age for booze/tobacco/etc is 18. That's pretty much Canada-wide but there are places where it's different.

It's been 18 here for the states for as long as I remeber.. and this is SC....

Well, obviously it changed.
What company would refuse service - and therefore profit - to anyone they didn't have to?

Dude...I live in NC, I've never heard any shit like that. He was proably bullshitting you. But to be sure just google it, but yea I don't smoke ahem cigarettes
(j/k don't smoke the other stuff either... ). But yea I haven't heard about it. Maybe they did it so smoothly and calmly that nobody took interest.

I think it changed sometime last year actually, well it did in NY, cause I remember my friends complaining.

18 for cigarettes in Saskatoon, it's 19 for alcohol though, I think.

I live in NJ and it changed around here a year or two ago. It's probably more and my sense of time is probably just bad, but still. I don't smoke so it didn't bother me but yeah.

In Slovenia, you used to be able to buy cigarettes if you were 15 or older. This changed last year when they put a new law into action. You now have to be 18 or older, plus you are forbidden to smoke in working and public places (that includes bars and restaurants).

Same here, 19 or older and no smoking in public places. I thought it was indoor public places but yesterday I was at the train station and it was outdoors and a cop bitched at a couple guys for smoking. Very strange.

That's how it is in Australia too. Last year or the year before, they passed a law that public smoking was illegal. That included being a certain distance outside of a public place, ie. you can't smoke just outside a shopping centre entrance.

but from what it seems, only that one store is doing it. I haven't been around any other Hess stations... so I dont know if its just a chaining following the rule or not

In Russia... cigarettes smoke you.
That was terrible. I apologize.
Cigarettes... 19? - Raditzu - 02-26-2008
I actually laughed at that, Saz.
Though I'm not sure who that says more about...

I think that generally applies everywhere, not just Russia.

Deep.

In Soviet Russia joke laughs at you.
Cigarettes... 19? - Dehan - 02-27-2008
I laughed but only because I heard something similar on King of the Hill...
An maybe it was just the clerk at that stoer messing with you Retane.
