Smoking is not a tool that can have multiple uses: social media can.

I believe a more apt analogy is with books. There are books we don't want kids to be reading too early, and while there is a higher barrier to entry (enough money to print and publish), we never consider banning all books for under 13s or under 16s!

Let's make harmful content illegal or restricted, but let's also take responsibility as parents to do, well, the parenting.
