Illegal to sell cigarettes to an under 18 year old, not illegal for an under 16 to smoke.

Not surprised at this really. When I was at college there was a smoking room in the rivalling college (one reason I didn't choose it)!albeit this was ages 16 and up.

I suppose the only redeeming part of this is that teenagers love to rebel, and a lot of them I am guessing only smoke because of this. It could make it not as attractive to them, although this isn't the reasoning behind it.
