Should the legal age to buy cigarettes be lowered?

Answer 1

No. The age of smoking should not go down, the fact is people should not smoke at all. Smoking damages your system and though all diseases don't come from smoking alot of them do. This theory is coming from a 13 year old girl but still, what I say is true. I have a grandma that used to smoke and once I saw a video of what smoking can really do to you, I asked her to stop and that day she did. Your impact on asking people to stop smoking may not be big but you should do that instead of incouraging them to smoke. Basically putting what I have said in one easy, no sounding out needed, 2 letter word that everybody should know is, NO!

Answer 2

By keeping the age limit as it is, younger people are going to buy cigs because they know they shouldnt be doing so, which gives them a thrill which may be the stimulus for them to keep buying them.

If the age limit was lowered, most people will probably buy less cigarretes as it's not so much fun doing something legal than it is to do something illegal.
