The principles do not change - regulate, and tax to cover externalities
DO not ban, nor nannystate

Your body's default action for smoking is to cough and splutter.
Don't know why you want to train yourself out of doing that
Yes, it's safer, but not safe. Much like how weed is safer, but isn't safe.
Life isn't safe
Honestly, I just think it's those retarded people who claim its safe. General users of vapes aren't retarded
People can put what they want into their body, its not me they're harming
I don't remember anyone with any authority ever claiming it was safe
safeR
And their clouds that they blow out have such a negligible affect on me, I don't care either
Much like cigarette smoke in an open area like the streets
Yeah, but then you get poofters like PeP who believe eroniously that walking past someone smoking will significantly increase his chances of getting cancer
While unironically living in London
Which is why I'm fine with banning smoking in closed public spaces, but not out on the street. We're not Amsterdam who ban weed on the street but let you smoke it in an enclosed cafe
Personally, I think it should be down to the private business to decide if they want smoking indoors or not, much like how it's not law to ID someone for an energy drink, but it is policy for some stores. But that's the libertarian in me speaking
Then people have the choice. Do they go into the smoking pub, or the none smoking.
Certainly doesn't need to become any more restrictive than it is now
I would love to know if the enforced lack of branding has actually stopped people from smoking, or the pictures on packs. I'd say blocking them off from view and upping the cost was all that needed to happen personally. Especially now that advertisement of cigarettes aren't allowed, you don't see Malboro on an F1 car, then see the pack and immediately have that connection.
Nope
Hiding it behind cupboard doors also had no effect
Upping the price has helped and blocking them from view too, but I think social stigma around smoking had made the biggest impact
Cost and education were the two biggest effects
It should be down to personal responsibility rather than an overarching nanny state to "protect" us. Protect us from what? Ourselves? Because no matter what, people will smoke.
Yes, but urban poofters bereft of any kind of personal agency need to be protected from themselves
Heck, all the people I've spoken to who buy menthol and capsule fags have said that they're just going to go to paki stores and buy the imported packs if they're banned
Which in tern will increase illnesses as they're not regulated cigarettes and will lead to severe issues
The safest thing to do is deregulated an educate
Urban poofters are in charge, Mikey, so individual rights and freedoms count for nothing
Do as you're told and conform, you fucken racist
hahahahahahahahahaha enjoy
Next time I'm going to America, I'm bringing back 800 of my favourite mentiol fags. Partly because Malboro Blacks aren't sold in the UK, and also because fuck the nanny state.
Thought the df limit was 200
Whatever the limit is lmao
I'll go with others so they can use my money to buy more
That works
Then sell them for £10 a pack. When in the US, depending on the state, they're like £4 - £8
Blacks just taste like you're smoking Malboro originals with a small hint of mint though. Not that much different from the Reds sold everywhere
Malboro Golf is what women and pakis smoke lmo
