      Are you kidding? We couldn’t even get these idiots to not try to kill themselves on the Covid virus. They willingly went out and got themselves on ventilators so they could eat at Applebee’s.

        But you see covid was a conspiracy by the government to inject nanobots into you, while also been a virus produced by 5G towers. It’s all perfectly logical.

        When I was smoking I was removing filters. I don’t understand why they are in cigarettes, they remove all the good stuff.

        Why not just put a birth year on it? No one born after 2010 can buy cigarettes. Ever.

        Give it 100 years or so, and we’ll be smoke-free.

          New Zealand is doing exactly this. Other comment is right though, black market will come prepared

            If you follow that logic to its natural conclusion, you should never make anything illegal because it doesn’t work.

            Which is obviously going super great for America and its Gun problem.

              There’s a difference in what’s made illegal and peoples demand. There’s little demand for guns in the UK since they were made largely illegal for example which is why one gun was linked to 30 odd cases when found as they’re not flooding the black market. There’s a big demand for drugs and if they’re made illegal, cigarettes.

                The goal of banning a year of birth is to attempt to have your cake and eat it too, with this very problem in mind.

                Your born in 2010? You never get to smoke (bar illegally). Born in 09? Sure, go for it. Cancers got you bro.

                  In new zealand they do the age restriction first and in a few jears a full ban. And i think that they banned it for the jear where the people where still underage. So it is more a way to “soften” the ban

        I mean, sure, but in a post about users paying for plastic bags, i don’t see the relevance.
