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.

I was assuming they would be banning matches as well otherwise the banning is entirely pointless.  I can't honestly see breaking into a car for a lighter though, though I guess if you're that desperate to burn something..but how much damage could you really do?

A lot of teens who smoke are 16,17 and already have cars or friends who have cars. I wasn't suggesting they would break in. Of course, if they were like my friends, they smoked in the garage and they could have used their parents car.
