I agree with the above. When I was younger, I couldn’t even buy a lighter.

Hello, since I own rollingpapers.com I could probably elaborate. In 1996 is when it became illegal for a minor to buy lighters and rolling papers. This was the Tobacco Accessories Law. A whole bunch of products fell under this 1996 bill making it difficult for those under 18 and under 21 in California and 19 in Alaska to purchase tobacco accessories.

alot of gas stations don’t care. or cant tell your age. and gum wrappers when you scrape the silver stuff off or bible paper can be used as substitute for rolling paper.

I live in Springfield Missouri, and you have to be 18 years or older too buy it! If your younger, your breaking the law.

Actually, all 50 states, including Missouri, prohibit the sale of tobacco or tobacco related products to minors. Lighters are not actually on the list, though some convenience stores, such as QuickTrip, require you to be at least 18 years of age to purchase lighters. If you appear to be under the age of 40 at some places they’ll card you for tobacco or tobacco products.

I work at a gas station in MO, and if you appear under the age of 30 we will card you for: lighters, rolling papers, cigars, cigarillos, blunt wraps, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and many other tobacco products/accessories. It’s the law and my job requires me to do it, and if you can’t produce a valid ID we refuse to sell to you the product, as well as any friends or family members you’re with, because that is considered a two-party sale and we can lose our job, and even go to jail.
