    Underage kids will still drink them, they will just pay inflated prices for them from 3rd parties.

    People that are old enough to buy them legally will buy up packs of them and then sell them to kids who cannot legally buy them.

    Same thing happens here in the US with alcohol and cigs.

      That’s a good thing, that’s less total caffeine they ingest. Which is the entire point. To reduce easy access to high dose caffeine. The kids could just huff coffee if they really wanted, no solution needs to be perfect to have an effect.

        I’m not saying it’s bad or good, I’m just saying that Poland will need to do more than just restrict sales to minors if they want to have long term success with this.
