Because they get enjoyment from it.
Same as drinking, parachuting and running marathons in 40 degree heat.

Gas refills are over 18s currently anyway.
| What do you mean, like petrol? If someone got their liscence before 18 they couldn't buy petrol?

If I were a 17 year old chain smoker I'd demand they compensate me for the years smoking I'd be missing out on.
I don't smoke though.

| If you look 21 you're going to get asked for your ID. Plenty of teenagers look in their 20s and as a result of that if people who looked 21 didnt get asked for their ID people would get sacked and independent shops would fold from the sheer amount of fines they would end up paying.

Living in Shepherds Bush whenever I go into my local shop to buy a packet of king skins and a ten pack of Malbroro lights, the man behind the till gives me a knowing look.
I'm sure we're only weeks of mutual understanding away from him asking me if I want anything "else" to go with my purchases.

| Matches and lighters aren't allowed to be sold to under 18's anyway, don't think they ever have been.
