I really think people are overreacting to this.
The ban is of tobacco products to people born after a certain date. They’ll still be able to get nicotine products, like vapes. Kids are already moving to vapes and they’re significantly less deadly (and crucially less of a burden on the NHS).
This policy just ensures the generation shift away from smoking tobacco. It’s a good thing.
