Nannying bollocks.
We should be providing the best information we can and allowing people to make up their own minds AND live with the consequences of their choice.

That's probably the ultimate goal.
Down to the sewers for a Rat Burger & beer it is then.
The BMA is also not supported on this by most normal Docs.
And when will they stop demonising tobacco alone for every illness, yes it is unhealthy we all know that, but they spend all their time on tobacco and ignore the fact that smoking has declined massively over the past 30 years but asthma and cancer are increasing , when will they stop pussyfooting around and call for household cleaning chemicals to be changed and diesel fumes, two of the biggest causes of asthma and lung complaints aside from smoking.
And if this should become law how long before alcohol and fatty foods follow ?
Thankfully I quite liked Taco Bell when I was in the States.
Absolutely, and as we have seen over the last few months, alcohol and fatty foods (as well as sugar) are already on their radar.
Tony said your joking??? The doc said no Ive spoken to a lot of teenagers lol.
Im not a smoker never have been but I dont bang on to anyone about the effects of smoking on you. If you dont know by now that ciggarettes are bad for you then you will never know.
I can't imagine it actually happening but whatever.
Ridiculous and unworkable.
Too much control as it is.
You can ban sales but you cant stop them or people smoking fgs....and these people are paid hundreds of thousands of pounds a year??? Jhc
Was going to say this. The tobacco dealers must be rubbing their hands with glee.
But they will still do it, they just won't buy them from shops
The idea of this is a permanent ban for anyone born after 2000
Indeed. It is clear that whoever came up with the idea did not think it through. Also it is worth noting that numbers of smokers in that age group are going down, so we are naturally seeing a decrease in young people smoking anyway.
LOL
But its an idea that is STUPID at base...you just CANNOT ban people from smoking unless you make it illegal
Agreed, it is an utterly stupid idea that is completely unworkable as well as being a massive government overreach.
Extra fries with mine please! I'll pass on the cappucino though.
