If future generations want to smoke, they can change the law as easily as yours passed it.

Running government budgets further and further into deficit, believing that, as a result, your children will, some day, be in a stronger financial position to repay the resulting debt that, until that day, continues to grow at an ever-increasing rate?

That seems psychopathic.

That's not how politics works, and you probably know it. "Easily passing laws" is not a matter of voting demographics but of political power, and any thinking person knows political power usually does not belong to younger voters.

Given the population pyramid, it would be impossible for them to change the law until they are well into old age.

You both have good points.
