@wiredfire I agree, which is why if people smoke they should do it by themselves and not be allowed to subject others to their smoke. But if someone wants to be alone in their shed smoking till they drop, sure, do it. I'd maintain and even strengthen the existing laws to prevent others from being subjected to cigarette smoke.

I am in favour of banning the sale of cigarettes, but not the personal cultivation and consumption of tobacco.

At a personal level, I really dislike cigarette smoke and I don't trust the tobacco industry one bit. I believe that cigarettes are a deadly product that has been marketed in a deceptive and predatory way over the years. I also believe that the tobacco industry has done a great deal of harm to public health, both through its products and its lobbying efforts.

However, I am generally not in favour of banning things. I believe that people should have the freedom to make their own choices, even if those choices are harmful to themselves. I also believe that prohibition often has unintended consequences, such as creating black markets and increasing crime.

For these reasons, I believe that the best way to reduce smoking rates is to make it more difficult for people to buy cigarettes. Banning the sale of cigarettes would make it much harder for young people to start smoking, and it would also make it more difficult for people who are trying to quit.

I recognize that there are some people who have a genuine appreciation for tobacco and its culture.For this reason, I believe that it is important to allow people to grow and consume their own tobacco, even if cigarettes are banned. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67010681

@bloom sabrolaser, I prefer that than lightsaber. 😄

@Gotaku un pelito mejor 😉 pero este es mi mejor juego. https://qoto.org/@gpowerf/111176338767781189

@bloom I get the sense that we could go back and forth for a couple of years and never agree 😉

@bloom if we are talking slightly older characters then Darth Bane is best 🫡

Pre 6am ice 😀 my daughter's practise session. I'm not qualified enough to be allowed at this time.

I don't normally post about politics, but this has made me angry. We can't have high speed rail, we can't have affordable rail, we can't have an NHS that's not plagued with delays for many patients, we can't have roads without potholes or enough parking, we can't have the powerstations and chargers needed to go with EVs, we can't have housing that people can afford. What can we have? What? Is all national infrastructure going to be decay till we have nothing? #HS2 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67005544

@kellyn a picture is worth a thousand words.
