My first cigarette at the ripe old age of 13 was illegally imported. I very much doubt it worked where you live and in reality teens just went more underground with their smoking.
Yeah, honestly I think it would make more sense to increase the age at which it’s legal to sell to 25 (under the justification that supposedly that’s when your brain has finished developing), and then allow it from there on to prevent it becoming a way to support illegal activity.
Teens usually get cigarettes from people who are ~18-21. If the age raised higher than that their main supplier goes away
They change their main supplier
It worked where I live. Smoking age was raised to 21 and teen cigarette use started declining even faster
