the only way to prevent online sales to minors is to completely ban it.Another part of the burden lies upon the shoulders of vendors. Online vendors can only do so much. Clicking on "I'm 18" doesn't stop a minor with a prepaid card from buying nicotine juice or hardware. That's where I think a little bit of regulation can be a good thing. But if you operate a B&M store, and the customers are directly in front of you, card the blank out of those people. If they look under thirty, CARD THEM. If they don't have ID, they should have to leave the premises, even to the point to where they can't whisper or conspire with cohorts. Any brick & mortar who does't emphasize and enforce IDs, will only hurt our culture.
when i was growing up if one wanted to do adult things you also had
to suffer adult consequences.
there are two reasons we have so much youth related problems today.
1.making school records confidential.
2. sealing juvenile criminal records.
kids get to do almost anything with no real consequences and,adults 45
years their senior have to jump through hoops.
