When you're 18, you can legally buy cigarettes.

I wished you a happy birthday a few days ago. I take it all back now.

AND I'm taking my ball and going home.

Cripes. You kids are young.

Happy stuff, a while back. Sorry I didn't feel the need to look in a "slackers" thread earlier.

When you turn 18 you:

Can vote
Can buy tobacco products
Can view NC-17 movies
Are an adult

Basically you have every freedom but the privilege to consume alcohol. But is the legality of it really going to keep you from doing it you so choose?

There are additional benefits at older age points - generally they mean little to anyone else. Like at 25 you can get a comercial driver's license for driving large street vehicles. At 35 you can run for president. Various others ...

I have a solution! I'll just cut the ball in half and you can each take home part of the ball.
