should rise from 18, by one year every year

If that truly continued every year, that means someone too young to legally smoke could eventually die of old age when the legal smoking age is, say, 90 and they're 89. skeleton-wave

Yep, the idea is to prevent new kids from getting addicted to this awful shit without hurting people who are already addicted.
