    Why is it illegal in the US for a 14 year old to buy cigarettes but it is not illegal for them to smoke?

    Question #34280. Asked by student. (May 24 03 1:04 PM)


    Mandelbrotset

    		Because if it was illegal for them to smoke, the police department would be spending all of its time arresting and booking underage smokers and would have no time left to catch the real criminals. Making it a criminal offense to sell tobacco products to teens just makes more sense in the war against smoking.
