I currently work in my local store sorting out the papers and magazines in the morning. But I want to have extra hours, so I want to work behind the till, but the boss says that I cant because of the 'New' ciggarette law.
Because the new law in Wales is that you have to be 18 to buy ciggarettes, but you can still smoke at 16, he cant give me work. I spoke to someone else who works up there and he said that you can still serve them to people, even if you are under 18.
I just want to know what the 'real' situation is with all this.
Please help me, thanks.

Just for Wales please.
Thanks,

I think I would believe the boss. If Wales is like most other places, you have to be a certain age to sell certain products. It may also be a legal issue so that the law can prosecute you as an adult if you sell to underage persons.
