Four out of five people want the legal smoking age to be raised from 16 to 18 to deter young people from taking up the habit, a BBC poll suggests.

I totally agree with this i think the italians have got it right, smoking age = 18 drinking age = 16 we have it the opposite way round. when i was 14 i rarely had trouble buying ciggarettes, i think people start too young and they often carry on that habbit and not to mention the waste of money it is. oh and by the way this is coming from a smoker i have been on and off since about the age of 13/14 and i can't shake it now i'm almost 21.

Don Seer:
sounds interesting...

i started smoking at 17, and gave up at 23

i'm for it :)

Shallow:
drinking age = 16?


 In Canada it's 19 for smoking and drinking. 16 is way too young to drink, or smoke. I do neither but that's a personal choice. If 16 year olds want to do either it is still easily accesible but to publicly condone it is just stupid. Here all the 13 to 16 year olds think it's cool to be over 19 so they can legally do all that stuff so they do it. If the age was 16 then you'd see all the 10-13 year olds doing it, and that would be ridiculous.
