Hi everyone,
In this new piece, Milan of Italy is enforcing a ban on teenagers’ drinking. If a teen under 16 years of age is caught drinking alcohol, his/her parents will be fined up to 500 USD. In a country that has produced and exported wines for centuries, that kind of ban is unthinkable.
In the US, the legal cigarette-smoking age is 18 and drinking age is 21. A retail store may lose business license if it doesn’t check customers’ IDs and keeps selling cigarettes or wines to under-aged folks.
Viet Nam doesn’t have any rule prohibiting teens’ smoking or drinking, does it?
What do you say to that?

I absolutely agree to Milan government on the ban. Although we can’t totally prevent our green world from cigarette smoke-which is a very dangerous kind of pollution threatening millions of lives, we can partly help our children, especially teenagers, not to damage themselves at so early ages.
In Viet Nam, we should have the same ban as in MiLan, or the same policy on checking customers’ IDs as in the US.
