Is it not the same Nigeria that is possible for a 6 years old kid to buy cigarette and beer.

The tobacco company or the regulatory bodies?

I strongly disagree with this research based on my experiences in the tobacco sector. The tobacco companies are very strict with the age and advertising restrictions on tobacco products. There are penalties administered internally on erring tobacco employees who violate any of such rules. Even at tobacco promotional events, underaged are not allowed to participate nor come near such venues. Also, tobacco advertisement in or around educational, medical, and religious institutions are very much put under control by the tobacco companies. More on the sales of tobacco products to underaged, the govt has a role to play by administering a standard identification process to every Nigerian above 18yrs which should bear personal data of the card holder that may be required to authenticate an individual when accessing age restricted products and services where physical age examination is not helpful because some people may look older than their physical appearance.
