    [edit] Smoking age in Japan

    The smoking age in Japan is unclear. Under the table for Asia, it's listed as 18, but under the heading for Japan, it's listed as 20. What's the correct smoking age? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ihatefile007 (talkcontribs) 21:20, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] illegal?

    deleted claim that smoking is illegal in some countries, as no evidence shown on page.

    [edit] Smoking age or Purchase age?

    The list is ages one can legally purchase tobacco products, not the age one can legally use tobacco products. Either change the name or change the article so it is not so misleading.

    [edit] United States

    Okay, this article used to have a section for the United States; it was removed on February 16th. Is there a reason why, or was this an act of vandalism that went unnoticed? --DearPrudence (talk) 08:50, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] Smoking age vs purchase age in some Canadian Provinces

    I think the article should have some note in the Canadian section about smoking age vs purchase age because in some provinces, namely Saskatchewan, it is legal to have and smoke tobacco products as long as they have been given to the underage user and not purchased, the purchase age is 18. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.128.80.113 (talk) 22:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
