It's all tobacco products and I assume lighters/matches but not 100% on the second bit. It was announced last year and was done in a very low key manner.

All tobacco related products including lighters, matches and gas refills will be over 18s only.
Gas refills are over 18s currently anyway.

So you get the 16 and 17 year olds hooked on tobacco and then tell them they cant have anymore until they hit 18. Evil people.

Didn't know this :o
Good, though, as Smoking is a filthy, filthy habit, and hopefully this will make it harder for people to start smoking, which is the best way to stop.

Smoking ifs, and an utter waste of money tbh. Should just ban it altogether.
