It's illegal to sell them. This means that when an illegal transaction happens, the business is punished and not the adolescent. This is Good.

If people buy their first cigarette at the age of 45 I don't really care if the law has been broken. I doubt it'll happen a lot, so a diminished population of smokers will still be the result. This law might help prevent people getting hooked on cigs at an earlier age though (when IDing is more likely) in which case it is Good.

I'm also in favour of an outright ban but that's just politically impossible so I'd rather we just take what we can get

thanks for the insight keir

smoking is kinda bad for you

of course they're going after vaping as well so you know, that bit sucks, but maybe it's not all that bad either

e: I guess, on the whole and by and large, smoking and vaping is bad and could stand to be banned

This is potentially a fair criticism but I always wonder if Americans know what we are actually talking about when we discuss baked beans. The baked beans in America taste completely different and are made differently. I tried to make a baked potato with beans and cheese after coming over to the US and it was difficult to finish because of how weird American baked beans made it taste.

how bout if someone gives you a baked potato with a lit cigarette on top like a birthday candle are you allowed to take it out and smoke it

what if it’s got some beans on it does that still count as a cigarette for the purposes of the law

i think they have some good American cheeses but we never get them, i think the UK is only allowed to import so many cheese types and they're all used up on god awful french soft cheeses that can gently caress RIGHT OFF

counterpoint: american cheese isn't actually cheese and thus is invalid for the comparison

e: hmm no its made up of actual cheeses, whats the retched "cheese" product i'm thinking of that's made out of whats leftover from making real cheese

British baked beans are shite and must be destroyed, agreed. the only acceptable place for them is next to a fry up and even that is pushing it
American baked beans are quite nice and a decent side for barbecued meat

mushy peas are excellent if they’re made properly
