| xtastemyvenom said: I can't figure out the law in new york. I used to smoke cigarettes and sometimes 7-11 would card me for lighters but no other store ever did. Very peculiar.
I have to agree in a sense with this though, when I was 14/15 I used to just sit in the woods and light things on fire with my friends..which probably isn't a good thing for kids to be doing. |
we set things on fire with Fresnel lenses. lighters were for casuals. There is no point to the law, cause unless they ban matches too, it doesn't do any good, you just shift where the youth get their source of fire. Heck, they can always just open a car and use the cigarette lighter in there.
As for NY law, it must have just been a store decision to card for lighters.
