People born after a certain year is a class of people. Born on one side can smoke, born on the other side can never smoke.
But it's good for them! Sure. They also speak about smoking being a problem for the Maori. Maybe they should start by banning them from smoking.
They aren't banning a drug preference. They are banning it from a specific group of people.
This is fundamentally broken. There has to be a better way of accomplishing it than setting terrible precedent of yanking privileges for life from a group which can't even vote yet.
