The proposal is to raise the legal smoking age every year. Meaning each yearly increase, this hypothetical 47yo will also age a year and so will be able to smoke forever
Not if he wanted to pick up smoking one year before legal age. So he will be chasing that legal age forever and can't smoke even if he's 68
////Edit: it seems like I need to give an example to explain this apparently very difficult problem:
Person A is 17 , smoking is allowed from 18
Next year Person A is 18, he could under normal circumstances smoke with 18, but now smoking is legal with 19. Continue to age 68 but smoking is now allowed from 69. It's even implied in the article
That isn't how time works.
Are you saying that time advances at a different rate to human aging? 1 year to the earth is how many years to a human?
