As something of a heavy smoker at the moment... I've got mixed thoughts about this.............
(I think I'd actually prefer a society where kids were immunized to resist the effects, reducing the cultural 'risk' of the plant in the first place, while preserving the 'right' to casual use for whatever reasons... but that's a heck of an ethical problem itself.)
while I certainly don't think children should take drugs (legal ones, too), Forcing a child to be "immunized" isn't the right thing to do.
after all, what about people like me? I never have had ANY desire to smoke! i don't need any such Vaccine and maybe taking such a thing would have harmed me in some way if taken as a child.
once you are an adult and smoking AND you wish to stop, then take whatever measures you need. then it's YOUR choice.
unless they find a "smoking gene" and can completely identify a person as having the potential for such future problems, don't mess with a child's body.
