Seems kind of crazy to make the ban ‘retroactive’ for people already alive.

The people born in 2007 are turning 18 and im assuming were never allowed to buy for themselves, but theres going to be a percentage that got them through parents and friends and whatnot, who are now, from their pov being denied a right that thwy were expecting/ looking forward to.

Seems like the kind of ban that would be much less contentious and easier to set in motion if theyd set the date as the current one (like 2025) or atleast to a much younger age (like say 2020) so that the people it would be affecting would grow up knowing the ban was in place and theyd never be able to purchase tobacco.
