Legal ages are just stupid and reflect society's lack of knowledge. How can you set a standard age for driving/voting/military/drinking/tobacco when every person is individually unique? One 16 year old might have the cognitive adequacies for operating a vehicle and another 16 year old drives for 2 days and ends up killing someone because of pure negligence.

They should administer intelligence tests to determine one eligible for such privileges.
Intelligence test for being able to drive? A lot of smart people have been in car accidents. Why would an intelligent person smoke tobacco? The military is nott known for being full of intelligent people, and an aptitude test is adminstered before joining.
