This is not unique, in the UK at least, shops are responsible for making sure that anyone buying tobacco is over 16 and anyone buying alcohol is over 18 (You also need to be over 18 to buy a kitchen knife in my local supermarket, but I'm not sure if that's a legal requirement or not.)

Yes, but I assume that in the UK, they don't make it the responsibility of the shop-keeper to ensure that someone under the age of 16 can't
find their shop. Or look through the window.
And what would happen to a shop that was repeatedly caught selling tobacco to minors? Would they close the shop down, or would the authorities make a representative of the local chamber of commerce stand outside the shop and keep all patrons from entering?
