    The thing I find hilarious is that a few weeks ago, when there was talk of the UK doing the same sort of thing, everyone was pointing to this legislation as an example of how it has worked elsewhere.

    It didn’t even last a year! All it’s done is slightly annoyed a handful of teenagers for a few months.

      Funny enough, it was a conservative government pushing it too.

      It’s not that crazy, considering it won’t affect older people. Old Tories can continue to smoke while the young can’t, it’s basically the Tory way.
