It's not illegal to smoke under 18 ,the same as it's not illegal to drink under 18 ,also the problem of under 18's is being addressed by increasing the smoking ban to areas that children may be present.

The point is that something is being done ,if the council go ahead with this proposal then there will be an option to prosecute should it be deemed necessary .The same ban exists in New York and doesn't cause that much of a issue.
