    I think New Zealand implemented a similar measure some years back, it should probably be good to see how well it works there. Hopefully this doesn’t create a black market for tobacco.

      Yes we did. Have not heard anything about it since… so it’s probably working as intended.

      We’re currently freaking out about vape shops springing up every ten feet.

        My first cig was illegally imported and sold by a dealer involved with gangs. All its done is make people get tobacco from their dealer rather than the guy outside the shop.
