(The above is not a statement of fact. It is either opinion, or satire, or both.)
New Zealand on Tuesday passed into law a unique plan to phase out tobacco smoking by imposing a lifetime ban on young people buying cigarettes. …
Watch this result in an increase in “young people” smoking. Just driving things underground.

Are they doing the same for Vape? Seems like a worthwhile effort, though I’m sure a lot of people won’t like the idea.

That reminds me of my youth in Connecticut. The drinking age had been 18, but the state was raising it one year each August 1, until it was changed to 21. I made it under the limbo stick, but my friends didn’t.

Laws were made to be broken IMHO.
Prohibition slow walked is still Prohibition.
History Lesson.

“In theory, somebody trying to buy a pack of cigarettes 50 years from now would need ID to show they were at least 63 years old.”
Don’t think this will be enforceable. Most retailers in the US only ever “card” people that look very young. If they had to card everyone, they just wouldn’t bother I think.

Somebody will come up with a different way of 'rolling' tobacco, so that it doesn't resemble cigarettes. They'll have to ban the sale and use of tobacco.
Somebody will come up with a new weed for smoking. ;)

Most young people just vape instead, and I don’t think this law says anything about that. Not that they could stop it anyway, since you can just order all the vaping materials you want via the internet.

50 years from now, if not sooner, all payments will be electronic. Automatic tracking of ages.

Such a pretty country. Such an ugly government.

But they make you a criminal, so it matters. Not being able to have a smoke without looking over your shoulder is ridiculous.

If one wanted to find a way to get youth to start smoking it would be hard to find a better one than this.

My Auntie used to send me up the bait shop to by her a pack of Tareyton cigarettes every day during the summer. I was 6ish. They always had strawberry Charleston Chew’s too so I was happy to go. :)
