    >In the cantons of Schwyz and Appenzell Innerrhoden, even a child could still buy cigarettes until the end of September. There was simply no legal age of consent.

    A few years ago, I would never have thought that I would live to see this change in the law in Appenzell Innerrhoden.

    I bet from experience with the neighbouring canton that AI will ignore the law.
