Where will it end?
I tell you where it will end...it will end with tobacco being made compleatly illeagal!
Tobacco products are to be sold "under the counter" when tobacco displays will be outlawed later today, by our nanny state govenment! Now is this going to stop well seasoned smokers like myself going into shops and buying ciggies? The answer is NO! The anti-smokers lobby's answer to all smokers is ban this and ban that without helping those who seriously want to pack up, and hindering those of us who enjoy tobacco. All the smoking ban has actually done is put thousands of publicans out of business and the anti smoking lobby is now set to wage war on the local corner shop too!!! I think about this in disbelif when we are a country on the knife edge of deep recession! I watched the news with mouth agape as a fat woman (who looks like she is on the brink of a heart attack through overeating) from the British Heart Foundation, as she spoke about the "Razamataz!" of tobacco displays!! What razamataz????? its just small boxes of tobacco on a shelf!!! LOL!!!! there are no adverts, no promotions, no nothing! Just boxes on a shelf! Her argument for banning displays was so laughable it was almost comic! Simon Clarke from FOREST (smokers rights) who is himself a non smoker, who was debating this issue with her, looked totally bemused by her daft, unthought of, comments!! My advice to her is go on a diet and stop stuffing your mouth with cream cakes, and actually think carefully about what your debating. She just made herslef look silly.
Has out Govenment actually got nothing better to do???
What about knife crime, yobbos with ASBOS, speeding drunk drivers, benifit cheats, child protection, immigration, under age drinking.............and the list just goes on and on, as yet again the taxpayers money is being wasted by daft legislation like banning tobacco displays. As far as I know a tobacco display never murdered anyone!

Re: Yet more persecution of Smokers!
Hello Victoria.
I'm no smoker, but I do support the right of people to have some freedom in what they do, and it certainly seems that smokers have been persecuted and ostricised over the past few years. If you want to smoke and are prepared to pay for them, then that should be your right. What next, a tax on fatty foods??? S. Re: Re: Yet more persecution of Smokers!
