What if we spin it around and do what we want to do for "hard drugs"? What if tobacco and alcohol were only available with a prescription from a licensed medical professional such as a doctor? Maybe put a timer on it like this only applies to people born on or after 2025 or something?
Access to healthcare with no out of pocket expense (Medicare for all born on or after 2025?) would be a prerequisite for this.
