Then ban smoking under 26 for everyone under 26. That would be a sensible law.

What is proposed is something very different in kind.



Yeah, that seems a sensible compromise.


Compromise, sure. I'm an ex-smoker, we can make smoking completely illegal for all I care. Again, I just think it's absurd that a government can think it is in any way legitimate to pass a law that only affects one class of people and passes it only when that class of people have no representation in government. That is a kind of tyranny, we shouldn't pretend it's not.
