“We are very much in favor”
Tobacco Regulation Change of 2022
Rationale
At 18, citizens gain full legal rights and responsibilities. Excessive restrictions limit personal freedom and harm local businesses. Aligning laws with adulthood standards respects adult autonomy while maintaining sensible health warnings.
