    Probably, yes. Even the age restrictions are kinda silly.

    I do think it’s ok to ban sale of “prepared smokables” like cigarettes. The harm level is known to be severe. But if someone wants to buy their own tobacco+papers and roll their own cigarettes, that’s on them.

    Of course, I don’t think it would be effective to ban cigarettes. Just ethically coherent.
