A Massachusetts town that adopted an unusual ordinance banning the sale of tobacco to anyone born in the 21st century is being looked at as a possible model for other cities and towns hoping to further clamp down on cigarettes and other tobacco products.
All I’m reading is the government isn’t banning the sale is a market that has already been exploited.
That’s a very weaseling way to describe it though. It may hold legal water, but you have to be willfully ignorant to not see how it’s banning a group of people buying something based on the group they were born into.
It should be banned for everyone. This exception is just allowing the businesses to wind down slowly.
Did I get a choice being in the group that these people marketed their poison to? What about my rights to have safe products available?
It’s not anti democratic to make laws against harmful things. Specifically harmful things that make you quickly chemically dependent on it.
I didn’t say it was. Banning only a specific group is what’s anti democratic.
