🚭 A Labour Government would look into banning the sale of cigarettes over time, shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said 🔴 “We’re going to consult on a whole package of measures to tackle smoking in this country,” he told Laura Kuenssberg

The law means that anyone born after 2008 will never be able to buy cigarettes or tobacco products. It will mean the number of people able to buy tobacco will shrink ever year.. Only speciality tobacco stores will be able to sell them, rather than corner shops and supermarkets., a burgeoning market among young people, and for limiting personal freedoms. Questions have been raised as to whether other harmful substances, such as alcohol, could be next.

“No one wants to see people smoke, but the reality is, some will and Labour’s nanny state prohibition is going to cause problems,” said ACT deputy leader Brooke van Velden.In 2019, the Government published a green paper on preventative health where it announced an ambition for. This would be achieved when adult smoking prevalence falls to 5 per cent or less.

Attacking the enjoyable habits of your voter base Wes, that's a clever political ploy . . .

James_Redacted Even though I profoundly disagree with smoking, there should be no need for a nanny state! Whatever happened to freedom of choice!

Everyone would smoke trees lol if cigarettes would be banned why alcohol should be banned too

F*k off, thats my time! I dont smoke daily so to protest - id have to save up to buy abroad. AND i might not be able to get my pipe tobacco - might have to smoke some other shit!

Absolutely nobody in the Gabber circuit would let that prick Starmer arrange their lives for them. 🙌 - pretty as a picture. Pffft - I'd decorate him with bruises. Knock him out, cut off his left leg while he was out and douse it in nitric acid. There - pretty as a picture!

This audiobook helped my brother and I quit. Recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it yet.

Should do it with alcohol as well
