Of course there's representation. Everyone 18 and over that smokes (other than convicts, that's for another thread) has an elected representative and the opportunity to vote. You smoke, you can vote. Bam, representation.

You seem to be having a completely different debate in your head.

By my line of thought, your 6 year old shouldn't have to pay sales tax. That's the deal. Either no taxation or taxation with representation.
The reason I think 14 is the golden age is because 14 year olds can be tried as adults, but it's exceedingly rare for it to happen younger than 14. If one can be tried as an adult, one should have the right to vote on laws.
