At €50 per pack people would buy them on the black market.
It definitely was something that surprised me when I moved here. Even among young people, it seems to be fairly popular.
Could another option be a higher `Eigen Risico` for smokers? I don't know if that could even be enforced.

> Ban the sales of tobacco to everyone born after "YYYY"
This is what New Zealand just did: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/13/new-zealand-pa...
It could be very easy. Ban the sales of tobacco to everyone born after "YYYY", make cigarettes cost €50 per pack, make smoking when not allowed a €100 fine, deposit all tax from tobacco sales into a national program where people get free "exercise credits" to be redeemed at fitness studios etc.
