Groundbreaking theory - Set the legal age to smoke at 18 then increase this age by 1 year every year after.
Everyone who can smoke now gets to continue their quest to die of a debilitating cancer. Children are protected as it will never be legal for them and eventually my tax bill will start to drop as the 200 IQ galaxy brains die out over 50 or so years.
