This thread as really got me thinking.... soap box time....
Irrespective of whether you smoke or not this sought of Government action, whoever is in power, really does piss me off as it's so very hypocritical with their regard to smoking and smokers....
They hike up the prices.... ban it here and there.... then go on to further bans like this all under the "umberella" of "the health of the nation" and "getting people to quit".... absolute bollocks IMO....
Reason is they "rely heavily" on the taxes smokers generate.... fcuk me they even have "projected income" from cigarettes when working out the forthcoming budgets.... so when they're put up heavily it's for the extra income NOT for health....
Usual three suspects everytime.... smoking, drinkers and drivers....
Wonder what they'd do about the budget if everyone took the decision to stop for the new year....
Rant over ....
