Executive 'to raise smoking age'
Quote:
The Scottish Executive is backing plans to raise the legal age for buying cigarettes from 16 to 18.
Raising the age for purchasing tobacco products was recommended by an expert group on smoking prevention, which published its report on Wednesday.
Quote from BBC News Website.

I will be interested to see if this does anything, I am not convinced it will.

Agree, it is a good idea, but I doubt it will have much effect, if any.

We have a smoking age of 18 here, but it doesn't stop many... it will stop some though.

Even as a smoker i think this is a good idea, but like you all say it might have an affect but it will only deter a few
