Smoking age

The smoking age is the minimum legal age required to purchase or smoke tobacco products. Most countries have laws that restrict those below a minimum age from legally purchasing tobacco products. However, many of these countries do not require a minimum age for smoking in public.

Before June 9, the age to purchase tobacco was 18 years of age. Amended after the 2016 election it is legal for persons age 18 and older to buy tobacco products with no filter. (Cigars, e-cigarettes, chewing tobacco, etc.)

The minimum age of 15 years was introduced on November 11, 1890.
The minimum age was raised from 15 to 18 on January 1, 1988.
The minimum age was raised from 18 to 21 on January 1, 2016.
