      Currently as one becomes 18 it becomes legal to buy tobacco products. Banning for future generations means that this stops being the case and nobody currently under 18 will gain the right to do so on their 18th birthday.

      I can’t imagine this being legally sound - that some citizens have the right to decide for themselves whether to smoke but others don’t.
