What can we do? Kids will smoke. Even if everyone who bought cigs had to prove without doubt their age, they could still get older friends to do it. When I was younger my friends and I sometimes asked strangers to buy alcohol or cigs for us - how dangerous is that?

The only way I can imagine would work would be making smoking illegal. Then you would have the problem of black market cigarettes appearing, and having dodgy substances in them but at least it would reduce the numbers of kids who start smoking.
