Lisa asks…
What age do you have to be in order to purchase tobacco in Washington?
I know 18 is smoking age, but I found out, in order to buy tobacco from online, you have to be 21. So can an 18 year old go to a store and purchase some cigs?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Yes, you can purchase smokes in a store if you are 18 or older.
Or you grow your own at any age. Order some tobacco seeds from the internet or a seed company like Gurney’s and then grow your own. If tomato’s will grow in your area, tobacco will grow in your area.

Betty asks…
I am growing my own tobacco plants but can i legally sell/give away the leaves? *UK ONLY*?
I have read on the HMRC web site that the product is not taxable until it is in a state that is ready to be smoked – i.e. shredded. Does that mean i can legally: buy the seeds, grow the plant, harvest and cure the leaves and then sell it? if the buyer then shreds it to be smoked, i guess it would be their responsibility to pay the tax wouldn’t it? Does anyone have any experience of this? Thanks.
GardenersCardiff answers:
You’ve misunderstood the rules a little. By drying and curing the leaves, you convert them into a condition in which they may be smoked and they become taxable. If it was that easy to avoid the tax, then hand rolling tobacco would be sold as the bare leaves with the option to shred them according to personal preference. Using your interpretation, even hand-rolling ‘baccy would be exempt as you can’t smoke it without rolling it into a cigarette or stuffing it into a pipe.
If you give away prepared tobacco leaves then you still have to pay the tax. If you grow and prepare solely for your own consumption, then within limits, you don’t have any tax liability. If you sell the prepared leaves then not only do you have to pay tax, but you have to accord with the strict rules regarding advertising, sales restrictions and package labelling, including mandatory health information and warnings.

What is the vegan take on tobacco products?
Are there any actions in the fine tobacco product industry that we should be aware of?
It seems harmless enough, but with those vegans, you’d be surprised…Some of the flavorings for the small percentage of tobacco products that are flavored might be of some concern, maybe?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Vegans are generally health freaks and so would not smoke. There’s probably all kind of chemicals in tobacco that aren’t vegan so I guess the best bet for a vegan if they want to smoke would be to buy the tobacco and roll the cigarettes themselves. Or they could grow their own tobacco. But you would think a vegan would have enough common sense not to smoke. I’m VEGETARIAN and I don’t smoke, and never have. It’s a bad habit that damages your lungs and eats up your cash and causes cancer and other diseases.

Anyone in the country can grow tobacco without any government license or permission.
