There's talk or maybe it's true that legislation is coming in to ban smoking completely if your under the age of 14...or 15. ...basically means if your that age now you will never be able to buy cigs legally.. It's a funny one for me....as much as I hate smoking part of me thinks its an attack on your civil liberty...I don't want my kids to smoke...but I think they have to make there own minds up...also wouldn't it just make another black market....Thoughts chaps?? Absolutely agree, loosing freedoms is never about “their thing” it’s always about when they come for “your thing” …….shame more people don’t take your approach mate. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The proposed law has now been discontinued due to the upcoming election. Any proposed new legislation has to receive Royal Assent today or It will be abandoned. That’s not to say the Tories or Labour won’t try to resurrect it after the election. Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,421 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 It’s a strange one we have enough laws and regulations grinding us down now. But sure we have all known some one caught by the big C caused by smoking. I would be pretty sure when they got the news if they could have turned back time and never smoked and had longer life with there families they would have jumped at the chance. So if the choice had been taken out of there hands you think that would be good thing for all concerned. But again it’s freedom of choice. But as a life saver you would have to think it would be a good measure. Unlike that bellend and his 20mph shite 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 8,017 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 (edited) According to the WHO, smoking kills half of smokers who don't quit and 8 million people per year, of which 1.3 million die from passive smoking. Yet it is legal. If governments want to continue to collect tax receipts and take back handers from the tobacco industry, then why not do it for cannabis and heroin? Both of which are less dangerous than tobacco. Seems strange to me that drug dealers are considered the lowest of the low, yet the murderous tobacco barons are considered legit. The only difference as far as I can see is that the tobacco barons wear suits and sit in boardrooms. They also have a ruthless and numerous gang of violent enforcers in the shape of the government and the police to protect them. Whereas street dealers have a rag tag gang of amateurs protecting them. Afterthought. We should have a bonfire night every year where we burn an effigy of Sir Walter Raleigh, Britain's first importer of tobacco. Presumably he was knighted for services to grim reaper.lol We should also make Guy Fawkes a Saint for plotting to burn the houses of Parliament.lol Edited May 25 by jukel123 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All the evidence seems to suggest cannabis is a safer drug than tobacco. It will surely be made legal here soon. If it was legalised, standards on strength and impurities could be clearly seen on packaging. Lol. When I was a teenager over 50 years back, my mate bought some cannabis off a street dealer. It was a quick transaction up a back alley. Turned out it was Oxo cube. Edited May 25 by jukel123 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,815 Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 I disagree with any laws curtailing personal freedoms. But I just don't know where I stand on this smoking law. Alcohol is an evil evil drug that causes untold misery and destruction. I've seen people's minds twisted by cannabis. I don't know what the answer is and when I'm made imperial emperor the laws around tobacco, cannabis and alcohol are laws I'm not looking forward to making Quote Link to post Share on other sites
