Today's Poll Question: Should the US ban tobacco sales for anyone born in 2009 or later?

Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Britain just banned tobacco sales to anyone born in 2009 or later, forever. Should the U.S. do the same? Michael breaks down the UK’s unprecedented “smoke-free generation” policy, which phases out tobacco access by birth year rather than banning it outright. The approach aims to stop addiction before it starts, citing data that most smokers begin young—but critics call it discriminatory and overly paternalistic. With similar efforts attempted (and reversed) in places like New Zealand, the debate raises fundamental questions about public health, personal freedom, and whether such a policy could—or should—ever take hold in the United States.
