Well into the 1960s, most kids were "free-range" from an amazingly early age, no helicoptering back then. You could go to a playground packed with hundreds of kids without a single parent in sight. And virtually all adults smoked, but not many kids as young as this one looks. But I'm not sure there were any restrictions on buying cigarettes other than maybe a store's policy.
