One outfit may did get proof-of-age from me (oddly, for some computer cables - guess they wanted to be sure the "I"m under age and can't be held to a contract, so no money" ploy wasn't used) by sending the first shipment (after which they had the result on record) with the requirement that I sign in the presence of the shipper's agent. A hassle, since I'm not at home when they deliver and the condition meant it could not be signed for by someone in the apartment-complex office as is usually done. The company was pretty good when I called, let me pick it up at their office (NOT normal procedure) around 9PM two days later. Too, the "something" probably wouldn't work anyway, if the kid has access to a credit card. There are sites in Europe: I vaguely thought of it and looked. They will import the US version of Marlboros and then export it cheaper than I can buy them here, or export the European version for a bit less, or of course sell European brands... BTW, whoever gave you the $ for a carton in New York was talking the State: in NYCity, add about $2.30/pack or $23/carton. Yep, a pack-a-day habit using a major brand will run over $7.20: generics are cheaper, about $6.90 I think.
