we currently restrict sale of these products to people over 18 - I don’t see this as much of a change from that conceptually.

Genuinely unintelligent take, to be honest. There is a huge difference between not letting a child do something, and never letting a person do something, even when an adult only a few days older can legally do so.

It's a weird law, and it's probably a good thing it's been repealed.
