Phasing-out tobacco: proposal to deny access to tobacco for those born from 2000

Tob Control. 2010 Oct;19(5):355-60. doi: 10.1136/tc.2009.031153.

Abstract

As a contribution to worldwide efforts towards a tobacco-free society, this paper considers the possibility of a long-term phasing-in of a total ban, by proposing that individuals born in or after the year 2000 have their supply of tobacco restricted. In conjunction, a survey that we have conducted in Singapore indicates strong public support (even among current smokers) for the proposal.
