The article and the headline is wrong. The government is not banning smoking, it is banning sales of certain tobacco products.

You are absolutely allowed to smoke them.

Not if you are born after an arbitrary date, in which case such products are practically legally inaccessible to you.

People will grow their own, but it from a mate.

Point is it’s not illegal to smoke, it is illegal to sell an addictive, harmful substance commercially.

[FridayoLeary]

that's inaccurate. It's legal to sell harmful products to certain people but not others. Which sounds very discriminatory to me.
