As a parent I welcome laws like these. I only hope the enforcement of the law is put in place as well.

People opposed to these controls usually say that the parents should control the purchases of the children. However as I was once a teenage - many years ago - with rather controlling parents, I know how easy it is for a teenager to buy their own things. The number of teenagers that smaoke scares me and there are laws restricting the sale of cigarrettes to teenagers here.

Laws without enforcement are not much help...
