The part you seem to be misunderstanding is that by stopping people at “a young age” you would be targeting non-voters. You are taking rights away from a future generation while protecting the current voting adults to have that same right. Even if that right is to slowly kill yourself while costing the tax payer, you are still being a coward and honestly a bit authoritarian by literally using a part of the population that has no voice instead of a full ban.
What exactly do you mean by this?
Ban smoking if you’re going to ban it. If it’s unhealthy and stupid (it is) then don’t just do it for the non-voters. Take a stand.
You fail to see how the ban worked.
Apparently, it’s hard to quit smoking. So we stop people smoking at a young age and keep that barrier up.
This should be trivial to understand. Who made it difficult for you?
