Ban selling cigarettes to anyone born after 2008, Ottawa Public Health urges Health Canada

I like the idea of nobody smoking, but any policy like this probably needs to be coupled with some kind of enforcement. Half or more of cigarette sales are already illegal:

Illegal cigarette sales could comprise up to 67 per cent of Ontario’s total tobacco market, 45 per cent in B.C. and 44 per cent in Newfoundland.

I like the idea too, but prohibition has never been successful at anything other than creating black markets
