I liked that proposal to raise the minimum age every year that was proposed in the UK. Let people quit or smoke until they die but don’t let people start smoking
I think that became an actual law in Australia.
Edit: it was NZ, my bad!
In Australia we just put the price up exponentially each year so that eventually noone will be able to afford them except the very richest in the country. I stopped smoking on 1/1/2020 when it was already over $1 per cigarette. It’s considerably more expensive now … I think about $30 for a pack of 20s. That’s why my friend never has any dosh and is always borrowing money from ppl.
You’re thinking of New Zealand.
Ahhh you’re right! Thank you!
I think people should be able to dope their systems with whatever they want.
Exactly. Banning tobacco outright isn’t going to stop smoking, it’ll just create a black market. And we know how effective that has been for ‘real’ drugs. Smoking has been naturally declining in popularity anyway, so it really just feels like Tory posturing.
