Do you think you have a bad government?

Trying to get a healthier population and stop 14 yos getting addicted to smoking is a terrible thing!

if people don't smoke the world will double its population every 20 years,and that will make war necessary.
i know smoking is not trimming the population as it should at the moment but it is still the only known prevention for covid 19 apart from injection(governments (France excluded)will not tell you this).But the smoke manufactures T cells,and stats prove this=. only .08 of one percent of smokers has caught covid.
Perhaps the new zealand government did not do their home work.!

Drink next on the list

hi Casemoney,yes,Drinking,Smoking,and Gambling ,seem to be in the firing line of all governments at the moment,and if you add up all the tax returns of these three evils over the last 50 years you will find that the money collected was used to build every hospital in every country in the world 10 times over.

Smoking may kill Covid in your nasal passage and trachea. Trouble is if it gets passed, with smokers lungs you're doomed I tell ya.

What do people do with all the money they save when they stop smoking ? When I finally stopped in March 1993 I put the
money in the bank every month. A the end of the year It paid for my holiday in Hong Kong and Quelin China
My non smoking wife could afford to pay for herself.The next year we went to Zimbabwe and Botswanwa and booked
day and night safari's locally.Such memories are better than a smokers cough.
I probably would never have started smoking but my fist two jobs were in the Tobacco industry and I used to get 100 cigarettes a week free. Trouble was I used to buy nother 100 on Tuesday

if people don't smoke the world will double its population every 20 years

duncan,who is going to cause cancer,heart disease,strokes,lung disease,diabetes,COPD,emphysema,chronic bronchitis,TB,immune system problems,to mention a few ,yes our old friend the cigarette,and if people stops smoking the world will need a new evil to clip the world population,covid 19 is trying hard to out do the cig ,its a good job that both are enemies of each other.or perhaps you would prefer a few world wars to keep the population down.

There is; a not so tenuous link between the denial by the tobacco industry that the risks of cancer caused by smoking, and the bookmaker industry and their adverts that gambling on slots and casino's...is just for fun.

Muggy thread.

Smokers pay more tax. So cover their health costs.
Healthy non smokers linger around for 40 years claiming pensions
Plus they take ages to die so cost far more in medical bills
Banning smoking just causes more costs for the state plus less tax.
May as well ban chips cos they’re too fatty.
