The country’s coming apart at the seams and this is the bullsh1t they’re at..
This is so pointless. We need new legislation on vaping fast, the “new” one is already behind what we need.
Anybody who smokes has started way before 21 anyway in fairness
I’d give a years notice and ban the shit completely.
I’m 24 , I don’t know anyone who smokes regularly but I know loads of people flat out on vapes. I gave them up in September after being hooked on them since 16. They are by far a bigger issue then smoking at the moment.
It is kinda pointless there will lots of easy ways to get cigarettes: car boot sales/blackmarket, get on a plane/ferry, drive over the border or just ask your older friends. What this will stop is the younger casual smoker from buying a pack on a night out. But most of them just bum a cigarette anyway.
Gave up the cunts a few years back. Health reasons aside it makes me furious to think of the time and money I wasted on the habit. Tens of thousands ffs.
Why not just have anyone born after 2006 can never buy fags or vapes?
Ban all flavoured and disposable vapes. Problem solved
Just shouldn’t sell them in general honestly. They only benefit people already hooked. Let them smoke themselves to death and prevent the rest having access. Should mention here I watched my dad have the worst and most hellish death ever due to his addiction to smokes.
What about refined sugar? Does anything good come of that. Should that be banned. Cosmetic surgery, fast cars, sun tanning, dangerous sport?
The state deciding which dangerous activities should be allowed and which should be banned is dodgy territory especially with certain lobby groups so powerful here.
As a scandinavian having been in Ireland for a number of years now, the amount of young people smoking here was shocking when I moved here and it’s still shocking today.
Will this include vapes?
More stupid nanny-state bollox. It’s not about what’s good or bad for you, it’s about letting adults make their own decisions.
Inb4 r/Ireland dregs crying about this being “nanny state bullshit”.
As someone who is the only non smoker in my family and said family decimated by smoking, good. Vapes make me even more annoyed so those next please.
My siblings started smoking because of stress and also because it was cool. One looked 18 at 16 and there was a shop where the owner didn’t give a shit to check ID (this is back in the late 00s). I feel you can’t really fake being 21 when you’re under 18 or have friends that are old enough to get you cigarettes.
Also at 21 you’ve enough brain cells ans base cop on to hear the bad effects and make a decision. You hopefully will have grown out of peer pressure and make an adult decision
Out of touch government, kids all vape now anyway , and it’s it’s immigration ban that needed not a poxy smoking ban
