ID’ing for this sounds like it will be a hassle. In some years they will be having to check IDs of 40 year olds!
Genuinely flabbergasted as to why anyone would want to take up smoking these days anyway.
Mental, things should either be legal for all adults or illegal for all adults.
Cool. Now do vapes. Which 13 year olds are using. Contains edit: nicotine ~~tobacco~~, THC, and a whole string of unknown chemicals which will probably cause severe health issues.
And while we’re at it, ban gambling and alcohol advertisements.
One of the weirdest things about 2049 will be getting stopped by a 40 year old outside a newsagent and asked to go in and get them 20 Marlborough Gold. We probably still wont have flying cars.
I hate smoking and would never support anyone doing it, but banning it in this fashion is just another way the UK is treating young people like they don’t even get to belong in society
Ah great so there will be an illegal market of supplying tobacco to adults in the future
*“Lord Naseby, a Conservative former MP, said the Tobacco and Vapes Bill „does upset a great many people in that industry“, including retailers.*
*He added: „What we really need is a proper understanding of how we educate people not to take up smoking.“*
There’s always at least one shill in the Lords, isn’t there?
“It is, in fact, the biggest public health intervention in a generation and I can assure all noble Lords it will save lives”
There is still a 100% chance everyone will do.
It will mean more people live to get dementia and other diseases instead.
Can we also have a complete ban on gambling advertising and sponsorship?
That industry is just poisonous.
We’re becoming more and more like north Korea and China every day under 2 tier Keir and his shit party.
We don’t know/don’t want to look to improve the economy and not waste everyone’s increased tax bills, let’s just do the important stuff like banning porn, banning cigarettes, banning cheap milshakes FFS and freedom of choice as adults, keeping weed illegal despite growing and importing as a country to supply others, banning flavour from school dinners, banning freedom of speech and expression essentially (and no, not all speech that people have been arrested for has insighted violence)
Prohibition simply doesn’t work in the UK. It creates more crime, therefore stretches out already underfunded resources which results in people literally getting away with a suspended sentence and community orders.
Why don’t you just give people the freedom of choice and stop trying to be a far left dictatorship.
Fuck labour and this constant bullshit. I’m not right nor left I can’t wait for labour to do one and stop trying to make us a dictatorship.
step too far if you ask me
civil liberties and all that
A waste of time for the police and politicians, and and encroaching on my ability to make bad decisions.
Given there’s so many overweight people in Britain, when are we going to prescribe food plans and exercise regimes?
Is this even an issue nowadays? I rarely see young people with cigarettes. Most of them just vape.
I’m going to make so much money when I’m 60 selling cigs to 45 year olds
Imagine being 30 years old and still not being allowed to buy cigarettes. Lol, morons.
This was already tried in New Zealand and it failed.
Interesting, can we also have a driving ban for people born before 1960 or is that „different“ ?
Edit : i just realised this exact framework could be used to phase out pensions: if you’re born after 2025 , you won’t receive a state pension. You still have to pay national insurance , of course .
>“People will also be able to continue smoking and vaping in their homes.“
How generous of the gov’t! We’re a long way now from „an Englishman’s home is his castle“…
Can’t wait to watch a 40 year old waiting outside the newsagent for his 42 year old mate to buy him a pack of 10.
I wonder what the Greens make of this. If they win we could get to a scenario where you can legally buy crack but not tobacco.
I wonder how much of a rise there will be in counterfeit cigarette usage over the next few years
Just an observation but in Ireland where smoking bans were hardcore from the start, now often the most crowded sections are the smoking ones. Bans work but there is a point at which they add no extra benefit and may even be counterproductive.
They started doing this in New Zealand and then the next government reversed it.
This is madness, we’re turning into an authoritarian nanny state.
Terrible idea and a stupid law.
All it will do is make smoking look cooler and cost the country billions, longer term probably trillions.
I hate smoking, but it is no business of the government banning anything that doesn’t negatively affect other people (and second hand smoke is no longer as significant issue these days).
Whatever happened to personal freedom allied with personal responsibility ?
LEAVE US ALONE TO LIVE OUR LIVES AS WE WANT
I thought we got shot of the puritans on the Mayflower
I don’t understand this at all. Surely once they’re of age and if they want to smoke, they could?
Most countries have a pathway to legalizing Marijuana, while the uk is banning smoking for anyone born after a certain moment in time.
Very progressive.
