You guys do have a point, but in my mind if more high school kids are getting into cigars rather than pot I say props up

the biggest problem i have is this....what if......they're not 18 yet...and someone sends them cigars??......eville seems to be an ok kid.....i'm certain that he hasn't bought a razor....his posts are actually pretty good.....but that big "what if" really bothers me....and i'm sure he's a better poster than some of the asshats that frequent our little sandbox....the "18" thing really bothers me.....and by the way....most high school seniors are 17......

If there was some stupid laws I think 18 to smoke tobacco is one of them. You know 90% of kids will still go out and get their smokes. Tobacco taxes at the rates the way they are is even crazier. $7 for a pack of cigarettes or $10 for pot ... Somehow I think pot use will climb higher in the coming years.

Thanks god at least the pharmacies brought the condoms from the prescription counters into the regular isles.

Many of those who have kids hope that they will wait on many things but the truth is high school kids do smoke, drink and have sex

Here in NJ, you gotta be 19.

While most highschool seniors are 17, i was 18 my senior year. I think the tabacco age in Jersey was still 18 then. You bring up a good point about the sending of cigars but aside from scanning one's DL, how would you know, comfortably, that this kid is 'legal'?

There are a lot worse things than pot and a lot better things than cigars for a young man to become interested in.

The decision to start smoking - knowing the dangers - is just stupid, imo. I started smoking cigarettes in high school and have battled them ever since. I just hate to see young people make that decision...

OMG'zors no not the devil's weed.

A little toking is the least of a parents worries. If it's very high on the list at all, you know nothing of the party culture in North America. My dad is happy that I smoke a little pot now and then, rather than spend my car insurance money on a coke binge like a friend of mine did at SIXTEEN! I'd rather catch my (future) kids with a joint than beer. It's far less unhealthy for them, and you can reason with a stoner...I can't stand talking to a drunk.

/mindless biased ranting.

As much as it sucks, making the site 18 and up would make sure hex has no liabilities...And minors can lie, just as long as they don't say they are younger nobody's worried.

When it comes to parties I understand what you are saying as long as it does not get abused. God knows I did my fare share. What I am talking about is smoking weed before class or during reccess in NYC high schools you see that very often and in this case I am assuming you are mellow and not disrupting class but what you learn in the process is probably a big fat 0

I also have younger couzins and nephews as well as some friends who are teachers in high school so I am not making this up when I say this problem is very bad here

I'm with Sid on this. The liability is on you if you send an underage kid tobacco.

Guess it boils down to be carefull in your dealings.

I hear ya, I was already out of highschool before I had ever even seen it... I believe in the right of a responsible person to make choices for their own body. Not for some kid to just get fucked up.

Ok, I'm really going to leave this alone now.
