l plan on buying a Zippo lighter, and I'd just like to have my facts straight.

 

What is the Legal Age to buy a Zippo Lighter

I know in the UK it is illegal to sell ''smoking accessories'' to people under 18, including filters, rolling papers etc

In most places in the US it is illegal for a vendor to SELL u smoking products if u r under 18, but it is not illegal for u to BUY or possess them. (In other words, in the transaction, the vendor is breaking the law, u r not). Oddly, this restriction does not include matches.

Online stores ask u to ''guarantee'' that u r over 18. Real shops will usually ask for ID, if u do not look old enough.

In a tobacco shop u will be asked for ID. In a gift shop or novelty shop, which also sell Zippos, u probably wo not be.You r not breaking the law trying to buy one.

if you buy a nice one in a jewelry store they probably wo not card you. If you go to a smoker outlet the probably will.
A connoisseur buys the best he can afford of that which he admires.
My first Zippo came from an antiques store. It was a 1935 Brushed Stainless Steel with two chevron slashes at the top hinged corner and two at the bottom unhinged corner.
$25.00 in 1962.
Still have it. Wo not sell it. No way.

I'd imagine it would be 18, since that is the legal smoking age.
