A few weeks back, I was told to give my drivers license so they could swipe it (magnetic strip) after asking for a pack of smokes at a Holiday Station Store before I could purchase them. 49 yrs. old here....

I'm eagerly anticipating all the junk mail and unwanted phone after that electronic interrogation.

I am pleased with the inability of some to question if I am 21 or not by looking at me, however am disappointed that this is required of me with my verbal demeanor.

I refuse to show my ID anymore to buy anything. I am 40 and when they ask me for ID I flat out refuse and loudly tell them why. Will it change anything? Probably not.. but I refuse to be a sheep who hands over my "papers"

I can buy ciggs somewhere else.. its that simple.

I dont' mind showing the ID - I will not permit it to be swiped for any reason.

The swiping of the DL for purpose of cigarette/tobacco purchases is brought to you courtesy of RWJF.........you will be getting junk mail and unwanted phone calls - all about quitting smoking.

My wife just had to give her drivers license information to a pharmacy store clerk because she was buying allergy medicine for one of the kids and it contained pseudoephedrine (i.e. Sudafed).

Yet our governor, Fast Eddie Rendell, just vetoed a bill requiring voters to show their ID to vote at the polls.

Sudafed - need ID. Voting - no ID needed....

I'm surprised that your magnetic strip still has any data on it.
