Would you buy cigarettes for those underage?

With the talk of the change in the legal age for buying cigarettes in England going from 16 to 18 would you buy cigarettes for a 16 year old who smokes and used to be legally able to buy their own. I did this for my brother when the age changed here in Ireland and thought it was right as he used to be 'legal' before the change.

Point is though he was legally able to buy them before and as I smoke too it would be hypocritical to say that he shouldn't be smoking

No.


crunchymonkey
kids ask me to do this outside of shops
i take the money and sarcasticly buy them a bag of sweeties give them the change back and tell them to run along now

No. I refuse to buy cigarettes for my mom and she's 52. I'm not contributing to her bad habit.

No I wouldn't, when you see what smoking does to people, we need to discourage the youngsters, not encourage them.

And help kill them? No.

It use to be fine, but now it is not- so don't! Instead, why dont you buy him nicotine patches? Smoking can and will kill your brother- but instead of taking a quick and painless death he may have when he has lived a full life, he is killing himself every day. What kind of brother lets him, or even helps him, do that?

Honestly,I wouldn't recommend it! My mother gave into me when I was a teenager and bought me cigarettes all the time and I really wish she would have put her foot down and maybe it would have forced me to not smoke!

No i would not, some kids who hang out near the shops where i live keep asking me to buy them cigarettes and i always refuse !.


Emma
No. I wouldn't buy cigarettes for anyone- same as I wouldn't buy smack for anyone, regardless of age.

Sorry!whether it is legal or not stop buying cigar for people younger than you.You are old enough to know what is good or bad.


Mickey M
I wouldn't. I live in Ireland too and always get stopped by teenagers and asked to go and buy then smokes and drink. I tell them to **** off because if they get into trouble and tell their ma or da that I got the stuff for them then I get into a load of s**t for it

If the law was changed, the old law was replaced with a new law. You broke the new law. Just because something use to be does not mean it is still okay.

It was legal in Ontario, Canada to start smoking at age 16 (when I started); now it's bumped up to 19.
I won't buy cigs, nor liquor, for under-agers because of the 11th Commandment: Thou shalt not get caught.
To answer your point: I remember when 21 was the legal drinking age; knocked it down to 18 (when I started - legally); a year later, the booted up to 19.
I thought it unfair that friends of mine, who were a few months younger than I was - who could drink before, weren't allowed to drink in public places nor buy liquor. So...the same goes for cigs.

i wouldn't

If I don't buy cigarettes for myself, there is no way I am buying for a 16 year old. Or anyone under age.


muggle
No, as I would be breaking the law. Also, people should be encouraged more to stop smoking as it is a filthy stinky habit.


Hypocrite

Difficult question. I think I would buy less than they want at first, then I'd start buying them patches after a while. I smoke too much and started when I was 13. I wish someone had done me the favour of helping me stop at a young age, when it would've been easier.
I would only do that for a relation. If it was someone else's kid they can go without.

I smoke, but I don't condone underage smoking or breaking the law.

No. First of all, it is illegal which already makes it wrong. Second of all, the dangers of smoking are obvious and helping a kid to start killing himself at such an early age is wrong.

Nope, if someone wants to put that stuff in them to help kill them they can do it alone. I wouldnt hit someone on the head to kill them so i wouldnt buy cigarettes either.
