It’s an interesting take on a ban. Not quite prohibition since you’re not taking it away from anyone, they just can’t start buying it when they turn 18.

Truth. But there was a long time that I didn't want to quit. I knew I should, but I didn't want to. It was different than addiction, although that was there, too.
My mom, dad, both sisters and myself all smoked for varying numbers of years. We all were able to quit with seemingly no health issues except for one sister who was diagnosed with cancer last week. Tobacco is a mother ******.
That's a very poor start! It's basically a meaningless gesture, but might make some people feel good.

My grandpa just told me the other day that when he was younger the husbands used to sit in the waiting area of the birthing wing of the hospital and smoke cigarettes while their wives gave birth.
Sometimes change is a good thing!
So you’re saying more people would start smoking if it was banned than if it wasn’t? Not buying it.
No I said a whole new generation of smokers would be the result. The youth smoking rate is at a historic low and you think we should change what’s been working.

I tend to agree. Youth smoking is at an all time low and continues to drop. The propaganda campaign is working. Tobacco is dying, and dying rapidly, but it will never truly go away, regardless of what the law says.
This proposed idea feels like kicking a hornet's nest that you already doused with RAID. Not needed. You already won the fight, but the hornets might not know it yet, and some of them might still have the strength to try to sting you. So don't touch it. Just keep spraying RAID like you have been
Only real 'experience' I had with cig smoking was the total cliche: middle school, down below the town railroad bridge, group of buddies and iirc...one cigarette?
They made fun of me because I held it out in my hand to light it instead of inhaling simultaneously.
Never smoked and to the day I never saw it as a bad thing that I didn't know how to light a cig.
Lost two family members to lung cancer and a grandpa earlier than needed not due to cancer but what smoking contributed to.

I know right, just like the damn commies took our rights to use asbestos and lead paint.
And that is the issue as well again if I can go die for the country I should be able to smoke a cigar drinking a whiskey before hand.
Do you also advocate for legalizing heroine? Because I choose a shitload of heroine before I’m sent to die.
