If only teenagers start smoking after their 18s.
They start smoking thinking they only need to wait until they’re 18 and there’s no hassle in procuring them anymore. Imagine signing up for always having to rely on someone else for nicotine.
I doubt most start smoking thinking it will be fine by they 18. They just need to bypass enforcements. Dodgy shops and drug dealers will provide it
The statistics may show a decline in 'legal' smokers but that doesn't include data on smokers using the black market. How do we truly know. I agree with the law and enforcements but it gets to a point where it makes it difficult for the legal adults , they are being forced dictated into what they can and not choose to do with our own selves
