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

TheManWithNoPlan:

Supporting this proposal criminalizes those who don’t conform, and in this case it criminalizes them for life

Thank you for confirming you didn’t even read the article or familiarize yourself with the law being discussed.

The crime under this law will be selling cigarettes to someone born after 2008. Even if someone in that demographic manages to purchase one, they are not the criminal, the person who sold them the cigarette is. Same as if you sold cigarettes to someone under 18 now.
