One of my financial advisors told me back when he was 10 or 12 years old he could go in a store and purchase a pack of cigarettes but he couldn't get one of the disposable cigarette lighter which had started being sold. Apparently the manager was more concerned about him starting fires than smoking.

There were certain stores where you could buy alcohol as a teenager in the area I grew up. The stores were owned by certain "families" and probably paid off the police. They would charge a lot more if you appeared underage.
No one got busted for underage drinking that I remember. The cops would usually just pour it out. Same with weed.

When I was 10, my 16 year old brother would give me money every day to ride my bike to the corner store and buy him cigarettes and candy for myself. It got to the point where the guy behind the counter would pull a pack of Marlboro for me as I walked up to the counter.
I go in there with my mom one day, and as we approach the counter he puts a pack of Marlboro in front of us. She tells him she didn't ask for cigarettes, he gives me a look and pulls the pack back.
After that I'd ride my bike an extra three blocks to go to a different store.
