Set the age requirement to buy tobacco to 21, do not gradually increase it.
We think the Tobacco and Vapes Bill should set the age requirement to buy tobacco at 21 instead of gradually increasing the age limit, and therefore making some citizens never able to buy it at all. We think this will effectively control smoking rates.

Background
We think that only those who will feel the need to smoke will then do so. We think this could control the smoking rate according to the needs of society and its members instead of eliminating it.
