  That assumes that this idea would actually work. I doubt that it will actually be challenging to get hold of cigarettes after this goes into place, there will almost certainly be a lot of shops that will still sell them to people who are under the minimum age. For it to work properly I think there would have to be a lot of money spent on enforcing it. Alternatively though, one could argue that even that is better than not having any measures put in place.

  Realistically though this sort of thing isn’t going to stop that, it will just push it underground leading to it being unregulated.

  I mostly agree, but I would still appreciate more education, maybe more in areas like second hand smoke, so that smokers don’t impact everyone else with their decisions.

  I can’t decide wether I like this, on one hand smoking is obviously bad, but on the other I wouldn’t want to be unable to if I wanted to. I think it would be better to make sure the public are educated on the subject so that people can make informed decisions for themselves rather than an outright ban on sale.
