This was the example I was expecting to have come up and it is true, but that also doesn’t make a decision to restrict the distribution of some items a wrong one.
We all know people under the required ages can manage to get ahold of cigarettes and beer but could you imagine someone trying to argue that we shouldn’t restrict tobacco and alcohol sales to children because it will make them break the law?
