It will only get cooler. And you put age discrimination in the law book.

Sure there is some age discrimination in the lawbooks for kids/elderly have some different laws applicable to them. But this is discriminating against a generation not an age group.

I prefer the "tax the shit out of it" approach. Possibly with a tax that is calculated based on your wealth/income (as all discouragements taxes should be, or they only apply to poorer peeps)

You think that the harm is positively correlated with income out of all things? And you want to present your income to a cig store out of all places?

Maybe have some tax-thing so they show up on your tax statement.

Same for other discouragement tax and also fines. Making them flat for all is basically saying poorer can we financially ravaged some something the rich would not even worry a tiny bit.

If you know how alcohol is sold in Sweden you may get the drift of what I'd like to see: totally available but very controlled.
