The original back comedian who started the you ever notice how white people routine. All others were followers. Like this one comedian said if there was a Mount Rushmore of comedians, Richard Pryor would have to be included. Nuff said. Added 4 years ago by guest, 1 point
Nearly a dozen communities across the state within the past year have raised the age for tobacco sales higher than 18 years old, evidence of a slow-spreading movement that activists say will reduce cigarette use among teens. Most states, including Massachusetts, allow 18-year-olds to buy tobacco products. Alaska, Alabama, Utah and New Jersey are the exceptions, all of which have pushed the legal age to 19.
It is an offence to sell cigarettes, tobacco and cigarette papers to a person under the age of 18 years old. There are also further penalties for those who persistently sell cigarettes to persons under the age of 18. The magistrates can prohibit them from selling cigarettes from certain premises for up to one year. There is no law relating to a minimum age that prevents a person who works in shop from selling cigarettes. In addition to the above, the police and park keepers in uniform have the power to seize and dispose of tobacco products from a person under 16 years who is smoking in public.
