    I used to think this was a solid argument but it really doesn’t work

    I quit smoking around the price being £5 my brother in law is currently paying 15 and going strong having never worked a taxed job in all that time.

    Sadly if you want it bad enough you will find a way.

      Of course it isnt 100% but I know my parents gave up because it got too expensive. That’s also why the money raised should be funnelled into intervention programs.

        Oh I absolutely agree the funding should pat for the NHS.

        More on topic recently they raised the smoking age to 18 (I think it was scotland only though) I did find it cruel that they made some legal smokers suddenly illegal for 2 yrs more.

          At least that is the same law applying to everyone instead of creating some kind of two tier system where certain adults have rights that others don’t.
