About 1/3 of the 16-18 year olds in Austria are smokers. There's now talk of raising the minimum age for tobacco purchase to 18.

I doubt that raising the minimum age will do much, since inability to buy is not keeping plenty of U16s from smoking now.

The complete smoking ban in establishments that serve or prepare food or drink, coming in 2018, might help a bit more. Other than that there's little anti-smoking campaigning in Austria, neither from the government nor from NGOs or health institutions.

Can help though as it makes it less likely that those under 16 will have friends or acquaintances who might buy them packs.

"Don't do this.  It's bad." 

Yeah, that always works with kids.

I never smoked not because people told me smoking was bad but because I saw the Boomers and GIs out there killing themselves trying to stop this habit that made their teeth turn yellow and get cancer and shit. I mean shit I know you are a kid but open your damn eyes.

Plenty of my fellow Xers did the same damn thing though. I just don't get it.

Gastro-Intestinals.  Fat people.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
