Question Posted Monday October 17 2005, 9:13 pm

I know this isn't the best of questions, but I was curious after talking to some people. I was walking around the neighborhood and some people were smoking ciggs, and black & milds. They were all about 16 or 17, so I was like "aren't you guys too young" But then a friend of mine told me that you can be 16 to smoke Black & Milds, and 16 to smoke ciggs, but you have to be 18 to buy them. Is that true? I live in NC so like if state laws are different, that may help, but I was just curious about it.

Also are black & milds just flavored ciggerettes (sp?) I used to think they were illegal, but after seeing lots of people smoking them in public I just kind of picked up that they weren't. Anyway, I know it's not a very smart questions, but it was just a thought I was hoping could be answered.

Additional info, added Tuesday October 18 2005, 11:33 pm:
I know that lots of people smoke underage, I just wanted to know if you could smoke under 18, just not buy it.
I always thought 18 or older to have/smoke/buy any tobacco products, but my question what can you smoke under 18 if you don't buy them.

I got a bunch of different answers, some people saying yes and some saying no, so if you can give me proof to back up your answer, then I'll be sure to rate you well unless, ya know, it's unrelated to the question!

I live in NC and I'm pretty sure that you aren't suppose to smoke or buy ciggerates + black & milds under the age of 18. Obviously, those kids were just trying to be cool and they were lying to you. But WE are cool because we live in NC =] Haha, joking. ♥

yes privates, it is going to be a brilliant answer.
anything's legal as long as the cops don't catch you, so i guess they're in the clear. black&milds are cigars, genius. they're only illegal when you crush out the tobacco and stuff weed into them. I'm really hoping that the constitution of the state of north carolina won't fail me in the name of its cash crop. those kids are smoking to be cool. the real smokers at that age hide behind the convenience store next to the dumpster, or in the woods by the toxic waste dump like I did.

its against the law in the u.s. to be under 18 and smoke. and some states i think it might be 21. people may be doing it underage, but that doesnt mean they are allowed to be doing it. they cant buy them until the legal age in that state either. hope that cleared everything up for ya.

I'm from Ohio but I'm 99% sure the tobacco age limit is 18 all across the United States, including buying, selling, consuming, possesing, etc.

You can smoke at any age. It's not illegal to smoke at like 10 for example. But you cannot buy ciggarettes until you are 18. Same thing with black & milds.


EDIT: I have no written proof. But I've seen 13 year old kids smoking off of school property where a large number of cops like to hang out. They have never ever said anything to them.

I'm not sure about NY but in texas the legal age for it is 21* not 18 anymore do buy and smoke it. But just like alcohol, kids under 21 still do it.

Well, I'm from Texas and i know that here you have to be 18 to purchase, posess, or consume any tobacco products. It doesn't really stop many minors from using it, but I do know it's against the law.
