    The decision to ban the purchasing of cigarettes has received backlash from people who think it is nuts. Those people will try to derail the smoking ban.

      It is about us losing democracy and the right to choose being taken away from people by them in power.They will expand the ban age upwards when it is in, then what is next for a ban ? Alcohol, meat, sugar, chocolate, coffee etc ? The politicians are taking peoples rights way everywhere, they are going over the top with dictating things.

      I openly promote black market tobacco, thankfully these new laws will increase the piracy and smuggling effort. Britain sells tobacco dirt cheap to Europe, do you think they'll stop selling to the rest of the world, while its own citizens are treated like twats?

      Just like how when they banned drugs, drugs went away, definitely no black markets or anything, out definitely was not easier for me to obtain cannabis than alcohol when I was a teenager, the way on drugs has been so effective that you never hear of anyone using cocaine or heroin anymore, can barely even remember what those are.

    Secondary smoking in London public places and bus stops is causing more damage to public health. Public smoking should also be banned. It is so hard to stand up on bus stops in London and breath fresh air without secondary smoking.

    • @5688gamble
      @5688gamble Місяць тому

      Smoking at bus stops is already banned, there are signs up and everything. It is just impossible to enforce, just like drug laws don't work- I could but any drug I wanted, they are everywhere. It is a stupid idea, do you not think the people who are allowed to purchase cigarettes won't sell them to younger smokers? How will the police enforce this? Will they ignore as many adults as they do in pursuit of cannabis smokers too do it? It is bonkers, and I don't like smoking.

  • @voltydequa845
    @voltydequa845 Місяць тому

    This nice channel is about learning English but I see so many soap opera aficionados here that derail towards "wow! personification" syndrome.
    Can't concentrate on key phrases because the nut-propaganda around smoking is causing me some gastritis.
    When I was young all the centenarians were smokers. And they often used to smoke genuine tobacco rolled inside whatever paper (sometimes plasticized one).
    Years ago I was talking to an American pulmonologist that was trying to sell me the same story about the smoking incidence. I do not care if it sounds presumptions, but I am immune to demagogy much more than to tobacco effects. I told her that she should show me a statistics based on just tobacco effects, taking out the drunkards, toxics, those that smoke more than 40 cigarettes, those that live in a highly polluted areas, etc. I simply knew they were putting everything inside, while the rightly interpreted statistics showed that the incidence had to do with other agents, especially other kinds of air pollution.
    I remember a scandal, that went gigantic or microscopic depending on the country's media, about PM (not the Prime Minister) putting ammoniac and chocolate inside tobacco to make people smoke more (because bronchial airways automatically close in case of difficulty, while ammoniac and chocolate opens them).
    Meantime, before the scandal broke out, they were doing the same anti-tobacco propaganda, but were failing short when it comes to checking what they put into tobacco of cigarettes.
    This last one? I'll repeat the one that I made-up during the covid times : It's all hocus-pocus for the sake of shifting focus.

    Who says tobacco is more dangerous than alcohol? Why bans tobacco but no alcohol? Even more why not ban others type of drugs? Films from Hollywood show us teenagers drinking alcohol and consuming drugs happily "without consequences" for their health, but tobacco is the enemy. We are living in a hypocrite society.

      ​@@HumbleBee123I could become a moonshiner! Or the next Al Capone! Great idea, more markets for criminals to dominate! Or streets are awash with drugs. Alcohol is extremely easy to make, tobacco is as easy to grow as cannabis, without all of the odour associated with cannabis. Tobacco will still be easy to obtain for anyone born before 2009. Smoking rates are in decline, prohibition is unnecessary. Improving people's lives with better services and infrastructure would do a lot more good to bring down the rates of substance misuse than nana and more money wasted on policing something that you can never make a dent in! Honest health campaigns do more than prohibition.

Second, UK will save on health spending, not dealing with the devastating impact of tobacco on human health, three : UK will re allocate the tobacco import fund to another, more constructive thing. I hope that similar laws will target processed foods and sugar added.

    You can use snuff tobacco e-cigarette chewing-gum Ionos heat device without the blue cancer smoke 90% less toxic
    Banning is the cancer by itself and it doesnt stop by the right stuff.

      It is nuts though, and I dislike tobacco! Prohibition doesn't work, have we learned nothing? Alcohol prohibition failed on the US and black markets ran riot, the ear on drugs is a continuing failure and black markets are running riot. How will they enforce this ban? Police can't even show up within an hour if a knife man is trying to kick in your door, let alone to enforce bans on igniting various plant matter and inhaling it. We spend a fortune on nonviolent drug "crime" but drugs are now prevent than ever! They may wish to actually do something about the misery, poverty and inequality that leads into poor mental health and addiction, nope, we will just ask the understaffed, underpaid and overworked police force to take on another burden banning things we don't like.
