| Can Minors Buy Lighters In Illinois |
The Shocking Truth (or Lack Thereof)
Here's the lighter-than-air truth: Illinois doesn't have a minimum age requirement to buy a standard lighter. That's right, as long as you have the cash (or can convince your older sibling to spot you a few bucks), you can walk out of a store with a fiery friend in tow.
But hold on a sec, firecracker! Before you torch your piggy bank on Bic lighters, there's a twist...a novelty twist!
The Novelty Noose: When Lighters Get Fancy
Illinois, in its infinite wisdom, decided to put the kibosh on novelty lighters. These are the flashy, musical, possibly-shaped-like-a-cartoon-character lighters that can be tempting to a young pyromaniac's heart (or at least a kid who wants to look cool). Selling or distributing these lighters is a big no-no in the Land of Lincoln. So, if you're looking to spice up your lighter game with some pizzazz, you're out of luck.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
Remember, safety first, fun second (especially when it comes to open flames).
The Bottom Line: Age Ain't Nothing But a Number (for Lighters, at Least)
In Illinois, as long as you're wielding the legal tender, you can snag a standard lighter regardless of your age. But be warned, with great lighter power comes great responsibility. Use it wisely, young grasshopper (and maybe stick to the boring lighters – they're less likely to set your eyebrows on fire).
