I know this is pretty radical, but if we made smoking FFA way fewer people should theoretically start smoking in the first place. From my experience when I was still at school most of the people there were only smoking because it's "cool", making smoking legal for everyone should take the coolness factor away at least.

Please, oh dear god...

Please tell me what FFA means and how it doesn't amount to "send poor people to prison".

FFA just means "free for all" (it's a term from competitive games, in case you shouldn't know), in this context I used it as another word for 'legal'.

Oh thank god.

Yes, I 100 percent agree with you. Your thought process is the way.

Sorry I was so adversarial in my first comment. A lot of the rest of this thread has me all sorts of triggered.
