I think it would be sorted in the schools realistically. Children would see a psychologist or something similar every week, who would talk to each child and try to find out what is going on at home.
Naturally, they could deny it, but a trained psychologist, week in, week out would get the truth, one way or another.
Police state, well maybe?

Will never happen. It will just go underground, just like when America did prohibition.
We don't need that gangster society here.
Putting Cigarettes up by £1.00 per per packet per year extra in price is a start.

Drinking is a separate issue and something which certainly has many problems

The Government is always interested in protecting children. That always comes first. When you get past 17 years old, you can forget special-help...

Smoking is a terrible habit and every packet of Cigarettes has a warning of some kind.
"Smoking Kills" full stop.....
Drinking in moderation is okay. Binge-Drinking is not okay and that is the difference...
Anyway, the blanket ban is here and that is not enough in regards to our children breathing it in, in your own homes, where smoking seems commonplace in Lounges, where doors and windows are closed.
Do kids have a say?
NO.......

Drinking makes people drunk. Drunk drivers kill. Cigarettes kill. Cherry picking to ban what is fashionable is the rule of thumb.
Children go to school. Children sometimes get murdered at school. Children are sometimes driven to suicide from bullying at school. lets' ban schools....Lets ban everything that is dangerous. Why not just ban being born.....Now that will solve everything...
