Underage in this scenario could be 40, 50, 60. They will just drive to an Indian reserve and buy cigarettes.
I assume you're talking about teens though..I'm fine with the current age limits, but increasing the age by 1 year ever year won't do anything.
Um, you do realize that Rishi Sunak is the Prime Minister of the UK? It's a long and arduous drive to the nearest Indian reservation.
This is on world news, so I took it as world change. But no, I didn't know that
On balance I think it's a good thing. A gradual ban like this will help break the smoking culture and save some lives. Maybe it will help gen-z get laid too.
