Generational Tobacco Ban: Should governments permanently ban the sale of tobacco to anyone born after a specific year?

To achieve a "smoke-free generation," some countries have proposed or attempted "generational tobacco bans," making it permanently illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after a certain year. Proponents argue this bold move will phase out smoking entirely, saving lives and reducing the burden on healthcare systems. Opponents contend that it infringes on personal liberty, represents government overreach, and will inevitably fuel a lucrative black market.

Honestly, preventing the next generation from even starting is the best way to kill off this habit. It's going to save so much future medical grief.

Honestly, phasing it out this way is super smart. Current smokers aren't forced to quit overnight, but we finally stop future generations from getting hooked on nicotine.

This is just going to fuel a massive black market. Honestly, adults should have the right to make their own choices, even the unhealthy ones.

满18岁都是成年人了，凭啥因为出生年份不同就区别对待？这不仅侵犯自由，最后肯定还会催生一大堆走私黑市，纯属吃力不讨好。
