Rare case of not even reading the title of the post I guess
The criminals are the people selling the cigarettes, not the people smoking them. They're going after the capitalist predators who make their living on peddling deadly addiction. Good.
So are you ready to admit you half-skimmed the title, made up in your head that it said "smokers born after 2008 to be thrown in prison" and then got outraged over that made up headline? Because your comments are only growing more obviously indefensible
Liberal state creates a law trying to prevent another generation of children from poisoning themselves and those around them, and finally tackling a culture manufactured by tabacco companies where poisoning yourself is seen as "cool" by children?
Yes, this is unironically, without a doubt good and should be supported by everyone, especially because no one is taking any adult smokers' treats away
14 year old children should not actually be allowed to have a cig, you are the one decoupled from real life
And then that 14 year old gets a criminal record for having a smoke.
I'm not fucking saying that I'm ok with children smoking.
Then what are you outraged about, there are no adults born after 2008
And those 14 year olds who will inevitably start smoking could end up with a criminal record if/when they are caught by the coppers.
But that's a good thing now I suppose? We're now in favor of our bougie dictatorships making kids criminals for literally nothing?
Come the fuck on.

The guy selling a 20 to a teenager is definitely the "capitalist" we need to focus on.
Why are you in favor of people being poisoned for profit? Do you take a similarly positive view of casino owners?
I'm in favor of not supporting liberal states and whatever it is they do

So you think NZ cops will stop harrassing kids who smoke?
Do you think that cracking down on tobacco peddlers in any way affects the frequency with which cops harass teenagers unrelated to this change?
Why?
Liberal state makes more laws.
We communists should support this.
