It appears that in some states it is illegal without a license.\n\nhttp://www.moga.missouri.gov/statutes/C100-199/1950000223.HTM

None. don't want to litter. I thought the best protest would be purchasing cigarettes from a state which doesn't have a smoking ban. Have to travel about an hour but gee at least that other state without smoking bans will be getting my cigarette taxes. Imagine if every smoker did that? Might have to purchase a few cartons at a time but let the state feel the lack of smoking dollars.

The law (Bill 208 ) was passed in 2003. It makes it illegal to smoke, or sell tobacco products (including lighters, cigarette papers, etc) to anyone under the age of 18. \n\nUnder the law, stores selling tobacco products must verify the age of anyone who wants to buy tobacco products unless they are "obviously" over 18. This effectively means that anyone under 30 gets carded. \n\nIt is unclear how effective this law has been, as I still see plenty of highschool (and younger) kids smoking. It seems to have acted as a deterent to those kids who were least likely to smoke anyways. \n\nYou can check out this site for more info: \nhttp://tobacco.aadac.com/whats_alberta_doing/legislation/prevention_youth_use/

It depends on what country you're in.  In some countries it's illegal for minors to smoke; in others it's not.  In the U.S., it is not illegal in any state for a minor to smoke cigarettes (but it is a misdemeanor in some states for a retailer to sell cigarettes to a minor).

18, it's just as bad as smoking cigarettes, no you don't get high - it's only tobacco.

The reason for the law (and it does not include every public area) is due to the fact that "second hand smoke" is believed to cause cancer.   I don't know where you live, but in Maryland you can still smoke in diners, clubs and bars in designated areas.  You can don't smoke in any government buildings, and most office buildings.   As for its origins in South Africa, I don't know about that.

It is not illegal to buy cigarettes online from a diffeent state.  It IS illegal to fail to pay New York State and City cigarette sales tax on those cigarettes.  You should buy the cigarettes online, compute the tax on the cigarettes and mail it to the city and state.  Otherwise, you are breaking the law.\n\nBut, of course, what you should really do is what New York City wanted you to do when they raised the tax in the first place - quit smoking.  One half of all people who smoke will die from it.

A good thing about it is that then kids have to be older to be able to buy smoking. They will be more mature to choose the right decisions, and lay out the consequences of smoking. Sadly most dont follow the law so it might not help much. According to Jonathan Edwards children are not born into an age of reason, and that is why they have parents. Eventually they will be able to reason, but after a while. People who are 18 are still young and many not mature enough to make decisions that can change their lives. I am only 16 and I have realised this. I am not mature enough. And though I am more mature than some teenagers, I know I am not mature enough to make that decision.

Young people 14 to 15 years of age are permitted to work in a number of different types of businesses, with the majority working in some form of retail or food services. A work certificate is required during the school year. The employment of young people over the age of 16 does not fall under Missouri law, but some restrictions do exist under federal law. \n\nProhibited occupations generally involve dangerous equipment (cookers, slicers), dangerous materials (such as toxic chemicals), or dangerous duties (driving, roofing). In addition there are specific restrictions regarding employment in hotels and in businesses that sell alcoholic beverages. The U. S. Department of Labor also has restrictions listed in their

AFAIK, nationwide minimum age for possession is 18..you get a ticket for minor-in-possession of tobacco.

Depends why you are using the ID. If you are using it to defraud or cause harm then you are comiting fraud. IF your not causing any harm, i.e. it's for novelty purpouses then that's usually fine. As for buying drink or cigarettes underage I'm not too sure, but being that you'd be under 18 anyway or you'd use a real one you wont get into a lot of trouble. ultimatly if someone challenges you and says they will tell the police or something whats to stop you from just walking away? Not that anyone would get so upset about it anyway.

it depends on the circumstances.\n\nBlackmailing your older brother if you see him smoking is not illegal.\n\nBlackmailing the CEO of a company is illegal.
