Summary
The UK has introduced the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, aiming to make it illegal for future generations to buy cigarettes. The bill proposes gradually raising the minimum smoking age, so those born after January 1, 2009, will never be able to purchase tobacco legally.
It also includes restrictions on vape flavors and packaging to prevent youth addiction and bans smoking in certain outdoor spaces, though pub beer gardens are exempt.
Supported by the Labour Party’s majority, the legislation seeks to create a “smoke-free U.K.” and combat smoking-related deaths.
Then what’s your solution to stopping the overloading of the NHS and costing British rate payers billions of pounds due to smokers?
Tax smokers more and use that money to pay for it it also works as a passive deterrent to stop smoking.
Edit: looking up the numbers it seems they could already pay for any nhs costs that appear solely from the taxes on tobacco so thats not an issue your getting mad at nothing idk what to say except live and let live
What specifically gave you the idea that any of this had to do with anger? I’m not angry at people who are addicted. I think they are placing an unfair burden on the system.
I think people who believe that smoking is some sort of human right, which is where this started, are extremely silly though.
Also, please show me the numbers you looked up.
Look it up urself I’m on holiday and its a been a day they werent hard to find
It’s not my job to prove you aren’t lying.
