Right. That kind of ban has worked so well for drugs.

I don't know about British kids, but in my youth most of us smoked because we weren't supposed to. Same with alcohol. It was sort of a rebellion from us... If it was legal most of us wouldn't do it, and we knew it and talked about it...

Bull puckey! IF kids truly want ciggies, they WILL find a way to get them ... Dr Hopkinson is foolish and in severe denial ...

Or just ban them altogether and be sincere that you want to help save lives. People who smoke now will soon get used to it.

Bullshit
