    Well when I was a lil younger, I'm only 21 now but when I started smoking at the stupid age of about 15. I used to hang outside my local shop and ask some of the older,but not too old, to buy me cigarettes from the shop. Some days I was sat there for hours waiting for the nice person to do it but other days it would only take 5 minutes.

    Now I'm old enough to buy them myself but when I walk into a shop and there's some "kids" outside asking for cigarettes I refuse to buy them. I know it's totally hypocritical but I just think it's a really stupid thing to do. Maybe if the people of my day didn't buy me cigarettes i mightn't be posting this :)

    Anyway, I'm trying to quit now too so if I can't have any, they can't either.

    Take their €8.45 and on the way out give them a packet of chocolate cigs. Oh wait you can't do that anymore because the EU twats banned them.

    Remember, if you start to feel guilty over it, just keep telling yourself that you're doing them a favor and rescuing them from those evil cigarettes!

    Tale the money and in the shop, stick it in a charity box.

    Win - Win.

    I'd never do it for many reasons, but most of all because of how unpleasant the little b*stards sometimes turn out to be when you won't do it.

    It's not worth my while getting in trouble for that.

    They're also the same people who'll be blowing smoke into my face when I'm walking into / out of the shop.

    When I was younger the shop beside us used to sell smokes to under 18's but only certain people... (my sister wouldn't get served, I would). I used to get asked all the time to go in for people... eh no, **** off I'm not getting my smoke buying privileges taken away from me for you ye little knacker...
