Opinion: Alcohol prohibition failed because few wanted it. The status and characteristics of smoking in society are very different.
One year ago New Zealand introduced a plan called the “smoke-free generation” whereby starting in 2027 the legal age for the purchase of cigarettes will increase by a year annually in that country, so that anyone born after Jan. 1, 2009 will never be able to legally purchase them, amounting to a lifetime ban.
Secondly, there is no way to smoke without putting others around you at risk from the dangers of second-hand smoke, even outdoors. Most people dislike, or even detest, being near someone smoking, but don’t mind if someone at the next table is quietly drinking. For these reasons a smoking ban will be in line with public desires, far differing from alcohol prohibition. By making the ban generational, older pre-existing smokers will support it as well.
