Re: MPs to vote on smoking ban for those born after 2009
"You can smoke cigarettes at any age, but you are not allowed to buy them until you are 18.
s.7 (1) Children and Young Persons Act 193 as amended by the Children and Young Persons (Sale of Tobacco etc) Order 2007
If you are caught smoking by a uniformed police officer or park keeper in a public place when under 16, he or she can take away your tobacco and cigarette papers.
s.7 Children and Young Persons Act 1933"
But it's also illegal to buy alcohol under 18, and it's totally illegal to buy controlled drugs. Does that stop a lot of youngsters and vendors?
