i think the problem is that the more and more authorities try to make stricter laws about underage drinking and smoking, the more kids want to do it. it's paradoxical but it just seems that by throwing more laws out there, we're not facing the problem head on. i certainly don't have the solution to underage drinking and smoking, but i don't think it's by making more and more laws. i mean, i know an area where they raised the age limit for drinking and it didn't solve a thing.
