What happens when one smoker is 19yrs and one smoker is 17rs ? This legislation is typical of populist legislation the various governments tend to introduce lately ,it appeals to a minority but is so full of holes it doesn't work .

Incidentally in Scotland it is illegal to smoke,be in possession of and sell tobacco products to under 18's

In England and Wales it is only illegal to sell tobacco products to under 18's ,why the massive differences in legislation ? Prior to 2007 the minimum age to buy and consume tobacco was 16yrs ,why did the then Labour government remove the age restriction to smoke ?
