The best way to reduce children smoking is to maker it legal for children to buy cigarettes.

This probably sounds illogical, but in my experience the reason children purchased cigarettes when I was at school was because they thought they looked older and the excitement of purchasing something that they were not old enough to buy.

In my opinion if children could legally buy cigarettes then it removes the excitement of doing something they should not, and removes the belief they look older than they are.

You remove the thrill factor and the rebellion, then your just left with purchasing something expensive that makes you smell and makes you unhealthy.

The reason I did not smoke was because I was buying them from the age of 5 for my nan. Unlike my friends I had no thrill in buying them.
