I'm like that with food, can't be in the house or I'll eat it, bad food that is. I'm focused at the minute so doing well

I think raising the smoking age will not do much.

Even those under 18 find ways to smoke, fake ID, others buying them.

It's also at the detriment, not the increase in age, but other changes that impacts on adults.

Education and ID checks, parental guidance can help to a degree. Peer pressure will always be a thing.

Same with sugar tax and drink.

Tricky one really. It may reduce, but not eradicate the problem of under age smokers.....
