    By the time they’re 44 hopefully they’re not such crybabies and have learned to accept a law that’s been there their whole life. Or they just get someone else to buy them.

    Either way it limits access and I think that’s good, even if not perfect.

      Imagining a 70 year old hanging around a store for some 80 year old to come by to ask them if they could buy them some cigs.

      That’s such a ridiculous and unnecessary scenario. Just make it illegal in 20 years and be done with it. Why put so much money and effort into such a badly designed solution?

          Because people need some time to adapt. Make it 5 if you want. I don’t think we should get rid of a transition phase however.
