Although some Web sites take pains to verify a smoker's age and require that an adult sign for purchases, others discount cigarettes rely on the honor of shoppers not to buy tobacco on the Web if they are underage.

Clara York, an cheap cigarettes discount employee of cigarette e-tailer Seneca Cigarettes, told the E-Commerce Times that customers entering the site must click on a link saying "I am over 18" before being allowed to access the online store. The link acts as a "legally binding as a signature," York said.

York added that Seneca Cigarettes cigarettes verifies that each address entered by the buyer matches the credit card billing address, and pointed out that sometimes children do not know where their parents dute free cigarettes have their bills sent.

Some sites require consumers to certify online cigarettes they are 18 before entering the site, but others simply dute free cigarettes print the requirement that purchasers be over 18. For instance, online shoppers who read the fine print at the top of Ron's Smoke Shop will buy cigarettes see that, "Proceeding past this page acknowledges that your are of legal age to purchase tobacco products in your State marlboro cigarettes."
