Is a person an adult at age 18?
Depends on who you ask.
The military says yes, the politicians (during an election year) say yes, the people who make the rules for alchohol say no, and the people who make the rules for tobacco are trying to say no.

To fight in combat? Yes.

To drink a beer? No.

To have sex in a XXX-rated movie? Yes.

To smoke a cigarette? Not of the "let's extend adolescence" nannies have their way.

...Funny, out of the four things I listed, which would you rather your son/daughter engaged in at age 18?
