Good idea butt ( 🙄 ) its one of those laws that will be almost impossible to police.

they have just given a green light to black market tobacco
well done Keir ... lol

Good stuff. I think NZ did that a few years ago too

In theory it’s good. Reality, hard to Police and you only have to look out here where it’s still legal and see the black market that already exists for cheap ciggies to know where that is heading.

You can get illegal cigarettes at every tobacconist. I'm sure it's the same in the UK.

The thing is this will prevent generations from starting smoking...non smokers wont go to the bother of getting chop chop

Look at where smoking is today, compared to 20-30 years ago. There was a time you could smoke in restaurants. Smokers are treated like pariahs now. It’s gotten more and more ostracised, which is a good thing. To think they could be banned completely in another 20-30 years isn’t beyond the realm of possibility.

A good idea in theory (there is no safe level of smoking) but it will be very hard to enforce.

We did but the current government reversed it. One of the current ministers is a tobacco lobbyist. Smoking is back and it's better and smellier than ever.

smoking is awful
vaping is bad too

Good stuff, and it should be done in AUS for vapes as well, as it will save lives wherever it is introduced.

This is a BS move.
Not only will it send crime through the roof but it’s going to piss off generations of people who already think there is far too much government over reach in that country.
The joint is going to hell in a hand basket already, they don’t need this crap.

Drug users were once non-drug users....and drugs have always been illegal...don't see how this will do anything other than create a new crime to police.

Of all the things going wrong in the UK, how they found the time to come up with this nonsense to pursue is beyond me.

If we're saving lives, we should ban all alcohol and sugary foods...let's ban a hard day's work too while we're at it...people get sick from stress...you lefties will never learn
