I like that they’re trying to kill off smoking.
I don’t like this ageist bullshit.
Why don’t they just set a timeline of 5 years and all tobacco sales are prohibited after that. You’ve got 5 years to quit if you smoke.
That solves even more of the problem and isn’t ageist bullshit.
probably because it’s easier to make people not start smoking than make people stop smoking. 2008 people are below 18, so most of them probably haven’t started
2008 people are already turning 18 this year.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
People would also be less likely to start if they know they’ll have to stop in five years
Oh, so now that smoking is illegal that means it’s cool again?
Seriously, all they’re doing is making smoking cool again.
So prohibition 2.0? How’d that work out again?
I think everyone stopped, we fixed all the problems and then got lots of back pats.
Dude I get it but this is dumb. the creation of a smoking and non smoking class is fucking ridiculous. Pick a side and stick with it.
The side picked is banning smoking. It’s being done by attrition because everyone knows how hard it is to stop, easier to just prevent it from the beginning.
I can appreciate that’s the intent, but the optics are this are what creates the class disparity thing. Plus it’s abusable. They need to have a firm cutoff date to be clear that applies to everybody. Splitting hairs makes this look suspect.
How will this affect tourists over 18?
