2.) It's the money and not the health issue:

If there was a sincere effort to inconvenience smokers to quit (by taxes, or ban) there would be legislation to create a progressive age requirement to buying cigarettes (next year you'd have to be 19, the next year 20, so no one could start).


There's more, but that's enough.
It Just went up to 18 by me....although i know a lot of people aren't happy and i don't know anyone under the age who it's actually stopped.

It should have given a 2 year warning, people who were addicted legally at 16 have been forced to quit and to me that seems unreasonable.
