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.

Oh, dude, in England, you gotta be 18 to buy a lighter. Like, they don't want any reckless toddlers starting fires or anything. So, if you're under 18 and really need a lighter, maybe just ask an adult to help you out. Stay safe, kids!

In England, there is no specific legal age to buy a lighter.
