It's funny that someone's going to have to keep track of what the latest age limit is :toofunny2:

It means that people born in or after 2009 will never be able to legally buy cigarettes, leading to an effective ban.

Wild method of implementation though. :dies:
 

I wonder how a banning method like this would hypothetically hold up in the US constitutionally. Typically, age discrimination is perfectly constitutional as age is not a suspect class. But this type of age discrimination is a bit different than typical age discrimination as instead of banning below a certain age… it bans completely after a certain birth year.

A good idea in theory but completely impossible in practice without inflating the black market.

We had this same policy here in NZ

 

Until the new government got in, promised tax cuts (which are f all anyway) and repealed this to balance the books :rip:

Clickbait title aside, what an excellent decision

 

Young people are smoking less anyways so it won't affect them so much

Should be banned everywhere in the world tbh. I hate smokers. I hate to be secondhand smoker all the time.

MTE. And the weed smell is even worse. Can these people just do edibles thanks.

This will simply drive individuals towards buying vapes or resorting to the illegal sale of cigarettes :biblio:

I'm... not sure I agree with this. It's a good idea in theory as absolutely smoking is bad for one's health (I've never been a smoker) but it's also someone's prerogative to do so in my view. I also don't know if it will be effective and as people have said - it'll just inflate the black market.
