Do like the state of Hawaii was going to do, and just gradually increase the minimum age to purchase, until it's up to 100. If you live to 100 and still want to smoke, go for it.

IMO, the principle is sound, but you could certainly argue about the rate at which the age should increase. 1 year per year seems like it would do the least harm overall.
