May a person under 18 buy cigarettes or alcohol in a shop?

In the exam (Chinese)

未滿18歲的人可不可以去商店買菸酒?

  1. aYes.可以。
  2. bNo.不可以。Correct answer

Why?

Under the Children and Youth Welfare and Rights Protection Act, shops may not sell alcohol to people under 18, and the Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act says people under 20 may not buy tobacco. So people under 18 cannot buy either cigarettes or alcohol.
