The Yougov poll I found has:

>Would you support or oppose a law banning anyone born after 2008 from ever buying cigarettes or tobacco products?

>Strongly support 34% Somewhat support 23%

>Somewhat oppose 16% Strongly oppose 12% (https://yougov.com/en-gb/daily-results/20221214-abbaa-1)

I'm a non smoking Brit and figure maybe give it a go and see how it goes down?

Perhaps let young people who deeply want to smoke apply for some sort of smoking pass? You could do similar for other problem drugs too maybe. A lot of addictive drugs don't do much harm if prescribed - the NHS gave some fentanyl to help chill out which was good - but having illegal dealers causes no end of problems.
