Medical experts have called for a permanent ban on selling cigarettes to anyone born in this century in a bid to eradicate smoking from Britain entirely.
The radical plan would see the age limit for buying tobacco - currently set at 18 - rise every year until the last cigarette smokers died out, at which point smoking would be illegal for everyone.
Doctors have asked the powerful British Medical Association to lobby the Government for a ban on tobacco sales to people born after the year 2000.
Smoking kills more than 100,000 people a year in the UK by causing diseases such as lung cancer and emphesyma, according to the NHS.
I have to say that if they try this then as somebody who has never tried a cigarette on the principle of it, i'll be trying them.
We are increasingly living in a Police state and this is what happens the more you push for more and more state power against the things you do not like. How can any of you rabid anti-smoking zealots argue against state monitoring of the internet for example when you've created this runaway train of a powerful state that is prepared to meddle in every aspect of our lives? If it's good enough to be used against smokers, then the state WILL step into your lives sometime or other: whether it's random stops and searches based on no evidence because you have tanned skin, whether it's seizing or snooping on computer usage or whether it's restricting what you even eat or can buy in the supermarket. It's straight out of 1984.
You created this and now you'll face the consquences of ever less freedom. The sad thing is that I will too.
**** these control freak experts and **** the ******s in government. Butt out of my life and my choices.
Thoughts?
