I don’t think this will put much of a dent in underage smoking. Kids in the UK today stand outside the local spar (small newsagent/cornershop/postoffice combo) and ask whoever looks like they might be sympathetic “Oy mate can you go in the shop for me?” to buy cigs/tobacco.
They’re still gonna do that and they’re still gonna find exactly the same number of people willing to do it for them. Back when I was underage this was like 10-20minutes stood outside, not particularly hard.
Then they’re gonna age up and start sourcing it from different more convenient places, local smugglers, who will also be dealing in other drugs, which may increase usage of other drugs in unintended ways.
What’s going to happen to cannabis legalisation too? Most cannabis in the UK is smoked in combination with tobacco. Where does the argument for legalising cannabis go if tobacco is completely prohibited?
makes sense I mean otherwise you run the risk of your life as a stoner basically being the Simpsons bit where Homer keeps horking down pep pills followed by sleep pills followed by pep pills again, just crossbuzz from the start

Yuck
Yeah it’s weird but that’s how most Europeans smoke weed
it’s nice once or two on a sunny day in college. It’s definitely not for long-term use, blegh
I could go for a nice spliff and a walk in the park every now and then
