Many states in the USA don’t allow it unless 21. So as far as that goes, it’s not too crazy. Unless FReepers don’t want any age limit on tobacco sales?
Me personally? I think 18 is fine, and if you’re in the military, you’re free to smoke and drink if you want.

I think you missed the gist of the story. NZ is banning tobacco sales to anyone born after 2008. Period.

Which means that every year the age limit to buy tobacco products will be raised, so that if you were born after 2008 you will NEVER be able to buy tobacco products in your lifetime.
