I'm visiting Germany and I'm just wondering if I can buy a lighter. Is 17 old enough, because in UK it's 16.

Seeing as the age of consent is 14 and beer/wine is 16, you can buy a lighter.
>>1063074
you can buy a lighter 100%
source have been 17 in germany for a whole year once.

What is this shit? I've never heard of age restrictions on lighters. Cigs maybe but never lighters.

Brits cant even buy plastic knifes without verifying their age
Get a life, bin that knife!

I see Sharia law is coming into effect.

Im in the US and at 22 I still get IDed for lighters even if it's just someone buying one who is with me and paying separately . Pretty damn silly
>no buying an expensive sophisticated lighter to smoke with.
Why even bother?
kek just go to some turk, he'll sell you alcohol as well
In Germany nearly everything is strictly regulated. But surprisingly sale of lighters is not. At least not on federal level. In Bavaria fire protection regulations say lighters should not be sold to children below the age 12.

For example? Really curious because I only know they are very liberal when it's about alcohol and have very high speed limits on the Autobahn.

You are fucking retarded if you believe what you are saying. Link literally says stuff like "you are not allowed to drive 150km/h on a 100 km/h road, even if you need to piss really bad".
>>1064215
not the one anon, but:
The need to piss doesn't allow you to drive 150 is indeed prohibited as stated in the article. ...This (with high probability, as i suppose) refers to non-Autobahn roads, which only allow speeds up to 100 km/h. Therefore, the law makes sense

Germans like to make rules about everything ('just in case'), but it doesn't mean they always follow them.
In a lot of ways, they're a lot more relaxed about most 'dangerous' shit than anglo countries are.

for example prostitution and sex in general, alcohol, speed limits...
