Great. You've just made another illegal narcotic, a black market and a way of financing illegal activity.

I'd agree with you on that if tobacco was completely banned, but banning from a specific age, seems like a fairly low impact.

What I meant was that "a ban from a certain age" is a total ban eventually. Black market will grow as the ban becomes more and more complete.
