Remember how prohibition turned out?
More and more snowflakes and helicopter parents nowadays. Their ****ing child smoke underage, they busy song go and lobby for smoking age to be raised to 21. Make more problem of underaged smoker. Old enough to take gun and serve NS, not old enough to smoke??? Please lah reflect why your child started smoking and fall into bad company. Cuz you too busy working to show concern for your kid that's why they become fked up.

New Zealand's upcoming ban on the sale of tobacco products to those born after a particular year will be the first time a country has introduced such a ban at the national level. We will study the outcomes, effectiveness and operationalisation of New Zealand's ban.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health adopts a multi-pronged approach to discourage and reduce the use of tobacco products among Singaporeans young and old.

Just ban totally. The revenue can come from elsewhere. Show the world how it should be done.
