      If you follow that logic to its natural conclusion, you should never make anything illegal because it doesn’t work.

      Which is obviously going super great for America and its Gun problem.

          The goal of banning a year of birth is to attempt to have your cake and eat it too, with this very problem in mind.

          Your born in 2010? You never get to smoke (bar illegally). Born in 09? Sure, go for it. Cancers got you bro.

            In new zealand they do the age restriction first and in a few jears a full ban. And i think that they banned it for the jear where the people where still underage. So it is more a way to “soften” the ban
