    Not a smoker or wannabe one but if someone is just one year behind in their age, they’ll never be able to legally smoke with this setup.

        Cool things that leftists always support: making drugs illegal.

        Cool things that have historically worked and not made things worse: Prohibition.

        Like seriously what the fuck is this shit since when did we believe in making drugs illegal.

      Yes, that’s how both time and math works.

      Correct, that’s the point. I’m fancy, there would be a day cutoff. Likely 1/1 of some year.

      They don’t respect the rights of other people, that’s all. It’s just blatant authoritarianism that they’re getting away with because of popular support.
