UK plans to pass law banning anyone born after 2008 to buy cigarettes

I would say it can/should be struck down by the courts. This is discrimination. You can be born on December 31 2008 and Smoke, but can’t if you are born on January 1 2009… I actually don’t think the aim is noble. People smoke if they want. I do think we should restrict health coverage for smokers tough, you smoke if you want but the state shouldn’t pay (fully) for it.
