Comment on New Zealand Bans Cigarette Sales to Everyone Born After 2008parent

Comments

Drinking alcohol and motorcycling do have some government mandated controls, including some based upon age.

In addition to alcohol, a great many chemical substances fall under government controls. Particularly where the public health risk is deemed of high cost.

In that context, how is this so significant or different?

"You can't drink alcohol until you are 21" is a very different law than "You can't ever drink alcohol if you were born after 2001".
