How old do you need to be to buy a lighter?

[Bef]

Meehh... UKs changed alot in the past couple of years.
i used to go down the shop every morning and buy my £1.50 pack of L&B with my dinner money and then sell them at school for 50p a *** to the rich kids
be loaded by lunch time ready to go down the road and pick up a £4 HQ

Yeah thats why its called amercia.

Actually, I don't think lighters are the sole reason for its name.

You probably meant:

Yeah thats america for ya.

haha that's great

and i didn't know there was a legal age to buy a lighter? I've bought lighters from shops where they'll refuse to sell me **** :S

You'll be pretty unlucky to get ID'd (at corner shops) for a lighter if your 16-17. I never do for lighters/riz, and your meant to be 18 for both. Cigs now and then, and alcohol almost always (I'm 17).

omg how pathetic, "i want one to warm my hands up" LOOL

by law it's 16 but most shops will only sell you them if you're 18.

[Abbie.]

18.

but i would ask someone who looked over 18 for id anyway just for the banter

edit: matches are 18 aswell.

Here in New Zealand, I'm pretty sure you only have to be 13.. maybe even younger at some stores. I had no idea that there were such harsh age restrictions on them elsewhere.
