What is the legal age to buy a lighter in England?

Answer 1

Most places say you have to be 18 to buy a lighter, however in England and Wales, the legal age for buying any ignition source (such as lighters, matches etc.) is 16. The confusion is due to the legal age for buying tobacco products (such as cigarettes, cigars etc.) being 18.

United Kingdom:

There is no age limit, but it is the store's decision to sell it to you. You have to be 18 to buy butane products and lighter fluid. There is a law stating you can't sell cigarette paraphernalia to minors, and lighters don't fall under that category, but shops will not normally sell them to minors.

United States:

You must be 18 to by a lighter, generally. There are gas stations that will sell you a Bic-style lighter, though.
