What Tobacco Control miserably fail to recognise is that any publicity is good publicity. The more they condemn smoking, the more it appeals to a large number of youths - the "forbidden fruit" effect. (But then, if Tobacco Control were actually effective, they would lose their easy, lucrative jobs for life!) The tobacco company is simply doing a bit of reverse psychology.

The government actions on stopping smoking varies across the world. Some governments do not have any campaigns against tobacco, while others such as Australia and Canada have aggressive campaigns against tobacco. There is a generic formula that most governments apply in some way, which include:Increasing the price of tobacco and taxing the product heavily; taxing tobacco makes it less affordable and harder for minors to purchase.Requiring some portion of the pack to be covered with a visual warning and/or a text describing the negative effects of tobacco smoking; in some countries, 50% of the cigarette pack is covered with warnings while in some there are no warnings.Creating advertising campaigns (via TV, radio, and billboards) promoting smokers to stop smoking and advertising the damaging effects of tobacco smoking.Creating youth campaigns against smoking; encouraging youth to stay smoke-free.Creating campaigns that offer awards for quitting smokingBanning commercials for tobacco productsHiding the display of tobacco products in stores; in Canada, all tobacco products must be covered and hidden from plain sight.Forcing all cigarette packages to carry the same format

To prevent young girls from starting smoking, it is important to educate them about the health risks associated with smoking, provide positive role models who do not smoke, promote healthy lifestyle choices, and encourage open communication about tobacco use within families and communities. Additionally, implementing strict tobacco control policies such as age restrictions for purchasing tobacco products and banning tobacco advertising targeting youth can also help prevent smoking initiation among young girls.
Smoking does indeed cause many health problems, but they rarely appear during youth or young adulthood. Serious, chronic and often deadly health problems develop slowly over years of tobacco use.

you get a smoking ticket for violating the prevention of youth tobacco acts, when i got my smoking ticket, it cost $115, but when i went to go pay it at a vehicle registry, there's a service fee you must pay, it can be either $7 - $9, so don't get caught, but if you're more honest to the police or whoever, they might be nice and just give you a warning.
