there may be stricter controls on sales to minors

There always has been a law to when someone could buy cigarettes. In Ohio, it was 18. Maine, the same.

And any store that sells cigarettes to minors deserve all they get! How stupid can anyone be to sell to minors?

Also, a lot of parents buy cigarettes for their underage teens, and this is no one's business.

When was this the case in Ohio? I specifically remember going to the store and buying my mom packs of Viceroy 100s since I was about 8. I still remember 3.2 beer (don't know if they sell it now) which 18 year olds could buy.

I'm only 30, so it wasn't that long ago.
