I would think that includes you, eh?

I had this debate with someone before. Cigar shops often require you to be 21 but tobacco law is 18. So hypothetically if an 18 year old asks me to buy him a cigar because he can't........seems that's okay? I dunno what the law is but it doesn't make sense. No one has ever asked this, so it's purely hypothetical but it kinda makes you go hmmmm.


Parts of New York and at least 3 states require you to be 19 to purchase tobacco. The at least 21 though is not because of any state law on purchase it is because of shipping. USPS/UPS/Fedex all have a 21 or over requirement for anything requiring adult signature and IIRC this is extended into shipping policies into age restricted materials making 21 the defacto adult age.


As for not selling it in a shop directly with a person who has valid proof of age, that is a whole nother issue.
