With chugging I was being hyperbolic. Those charity workers that stop you in the street. I find it grating but acceptable.

Counter - People will always evade the law no matter what it is. In this case I believe keeping that number as low as possible is beneficial - especially where a majority of demand can be satisfied in a safe and fair-minded (regulated!) manner. One could make the same case for legalising low-severity drugs, thereby freeing up police time for more serious offences.

Apropos of none of that - making something illegal in order to discourage children is not the way to approach public policy.
