Irregardless, cigs (and related products) are 18+ in Finland, and yet a quarter - that's 25% - of fifteen to eighteen-year-old girls smoke. For boys, the figure is a little lower. It makes little difference whether they're allowed to buy or not. If they don't get it themselves (ie. a salesperson hapless enough or an old enough appearing kid), they'll just have someone else buy it for them.
