Young Smokers

[caudio51]

I am 22 years old and have recently started smoking more...I have found that when going into stores many individuals brush me off and don't offer any assitance. Now I understand that I may not be spending as much as the 45 year old man who comes in but it would be nice to get some service. It seems that they only start to take me seriously when I light up in the store correctly with my Colibri lighter that they open up to me. I am somewhat just venting but wanted to hear if anyone else has similar experiences.

By the way, I just found this board and it looks like a great place, a home away from home.
