Worried that people will always look for a 'high' whether it's legal or not. Embassy No.6 may not be good for the lungs but they'll be a lot better than the snide ones kids will be buying on the streets. Mate bought some once, packaging was perfect but the contents were nothing like the same. Fag companies regularly change the shape of the packets to make it more difficult for those making counterfits.

Is that what you're worried about? No problem buddy, your government can just go and ban more things. You'll like it.

I thought you were into banning things.

Poorly worded, should be read as ‘People always look for a ‘high’ whether it’s legal or not this will lead to people buying counterfeit fags……

If you ban something you create an illegal market, county lines my fags? Doesn’t seem like a great idea.

Good spot and an even better spin of it David.

In a nutshell. Always with the man, never with the individual.

Not one word about blocking someone's individual freedom to live how they want.

No. You 'worry' that the government/tobacco companies will lose control of the product and the market.
 
Classic example of people deliberately misunderstanding what someone says just so they can have a go at them.
Got news for you buddy, smoking ain't good for you, but people still do it. Might be better if people freely choose not to do it.

Your friend is worried about people choosing an even worse type of tobacco if the kind of politicians you support ban it.

Still not clear?

Your friend is worried about individual choices. I guess because he thinks individuals are dumbasses who can't make choices he'd be happy with.

His answer. Let the government and tobacco companies keep the status quo. Because the government knows better than the individual.

Try to keep up with us Dud.

I think there's a lot of stubborn self-delusion with people like this. I hear that these people actively supported the arch delusionist Blair back in the day. That doesn't surprise me.
 
How do you feel about it Astley?
Not arsed. The plan apparently, is to raise the legal age to smoke, by a year, every year. I look forward to eighty four year olds begging eighty six year olds to get them ten Embassy from the newsagent Even funnier when the eighty six year old is asked for his ID. you cant un- invent fags. As Hackers says, the black market would be huge. As long as no one is blowing the shit in my direction, if they want to harm themselves, they can fill their boots.

I don't smoke and no one blows it in my face anymore, so it's nothing to do with me. It's totally pointless, I reckon. I've lost a fair number of people to it over the years and that's not good either, but then something always gets you in the end.

As an old git, I'm no fan of the state banning things that I've grown up with, and things that are enjoyed by people I know. No fan of the state telling people how to live. I couln't give a shit if people use the black market. Fair play to em.

There was a black market in alcohol during prohibition that lead to the mafia becoming so powerful.
I’d sooner pay a tax on something and it go to the government than a profit going to criminal gangs who then invest that money in trafficking people.
Your black market in locally brewed Schnapps isn’t like county lines I’m assuming.
