Across-The-Pond Nanny State PING!
Organized Crime says, “What a fine idea!”
As if anyone needed further proof that some of the most moronic of individuals are too often lettered.
They already are...You have to be 16 to buy Cigarettes.
I would rather do something like this here than have these dumb cigarette taxes. It would depribe someone of being able to smoke, but only people too young to have smoked anyway. People who currently do can still do so the rest of their lives.
The stupidest people I have ever met have college degrees...it seems often the more letters behind the name, the more stupid.
These people should be publicly stripped of their medical credentials for the rest of their stupid lives.
ROTFL. What a bunch of buffoons. What is going to be their cutoff date for people to have straight sex?
What we need is a vice that kills people, without incurring any medical costs.
” Likewise drinking too much or eating fatty foods and dairy products, but a lot of people get a great deal of enjoyment from smoking, eating and drinking and life would be boring if it was entirely risk free.”
I fear now that thats been said that the Health Nazis in Britain..and perhaps here in the U.S.A will initiate complaints against and formulate regulations banning the sale of Cigarettes, Food and perhaps even Water to those born after what was it the year 2000?
We can’t be TOO careful.
Since there is an increasing trend toward “e-cig” aka vaporizing devices to deliver the addictive drug nicotine, I wonder if they are referring to what is traditionally called “smoking” or all forms of nicotine delivery?
Nanny state crazies.
Ever watch the California State anti-smoking spots on TV? 90% of the people shown are suffering from some disease related to diabetes but somehow smoking or even second hand smoking is blamed for their maladies.
This is what I hate about statists. They hide behind their true intentions, then take incremental steps when exposed and then lie about it. Why can’t they just come out and say that their objective is total control over other people’s lives? I’d have more respect for them then.
deep down they would like to ban any action that is not a direct service to the state.
with themselves and the rest of the elite exempt of course
Thanks for the ping!

Many towns in MA making 21 the minimum age to buy cigs-—it is 18 in the other towns.

Stop calling doctors who practice politics instead of medicine doctors. They’re nothing more than medical technicians who work for the state.
