>UK to ban cigarettes for anyone born after 2008
>will work on similar bans for vapes and other nicotine products in the future
>/pol/ proceeds to lose its shit

This board always talks about the toxicity of the vaxx yet in the same breath it turns around to defend cigarettes. Why?

Either age the raw tobacco years or put a little sugar and acid to adjust the pH (as has been done for centuries). Also, ditch the flue-cured because excess starch makes nasty chemicals. Most Virginia Brightleaf varieties can be sun cured to retain reducing sugars. (Purpose of flue-cured).

Maybe English isn't your first language, but you realize you do come across like a total NPC. After 30 years, all you manage is a trite "I was addicted to something unhealthy".
Either you're Brian Johnson fixated on living forever or you're just regugitating some bullshit about health that works in small talks with retards.
"Muh health?" - so you can trade in more of your life for wageslavery or what?
"Muh finances?" - if that's a concern, maybe you should've sacrificed some of that longevity you're so keen on to get richer then, genius?
30 years, man, and you got nothing of substance to say about it. How is that not pathetic?

vax & cigarettes should be a personal choice. not mandated, or banned.

mandating vaccines and banning cigarettes becomes, in the long run, very comparable to banning vaccines and mandating cigarettes, regardless of health effects.

They need to implement this here asap. Can't wait to be from the privileged class that can buy ciggies hassle free while zoomers have to beg me to buy them a pack hahahahaa
They had too much fun with their ageism and unc memes, now every supermarket will have a broccoli head or a zoomette begging us uncs to buy them a few packs... at a 30% markup of course ahahahahaha
>>
Because it's the perfect example of why modern Western democracies are retarded, corrupt and gay.

When the left and the right both claim some low hanging fruit cause for themselves, it creates a purity spiral where both side tries to outdo the other with increasingly radical and outlandish measures so we get shit like EU bottle caps and cigarette bans.
What's more, when you submit a law proposal and it passes, it increases your clout as a politician and it makes you a more attractive target for lobbyist. The better your track record of passing laws, the more bribe money you get.
Parliamentary representatives are therefore incentivized to come up with retarded regulations about retarded non-issues on which they think it'll be easy to manufacture consensus.
>>
>>533654163
I wouldn't expect a jeet leaf to understand the difference between personal choice and a government mandate because the jeet brain can not fathom such a dichotomy
One takes on the risk of smoking, but no one forces him or her to do it while the vaxx was take this poison shot or we will destroy you
To the jeet brain this OP sounded sound, but to a white or northern Asian mind the contradictions were apparent

This is a folly. You can't prohibit something for adults of some age that you allow for others. If it's so unhealthy a drug to justify prohibition at all then just prohibit it for everyone. Equal rights don't allow for discrimination. The purpose of this ban is just another humiliation of grown-ups by treating them like children. This is how the totalitarian nanny state wears down resistance to much worse measures that are yet to come.

High test people are more likely to smoke because of risk taking behaviors. You're confusing cause and effect. Also if your primary objective is to consume nicotine, you should just use slow release skin patches which are the least harmful way of administering nicotine (along with gums but they're not slow release).
>>
>>533663261
bongs tell me there is already a very healthy black market for cigs so this stupid new law would likely make no fucking difference in practice.

but several other gay countries have already talked about and/or passed the exact same law, which must surely be a mere coincidence. surely it must be canadas turn next

Jew nonsense.

Reminder, virtually all of the chemicals and negative effects from smoking are from post-growth additions mandated by law for prepackaged cigarettes.

Cigarettes ARE bad for you, because they are fucking poisoned. Buy rolling tobacco. Less taxes, less poison.

Pipe is closer to cigars than cigarettes. An hour or so of slow smoking. The pipe tobacco is absolutely top quality in comparison to cigarettes. The only downside is that some skill is needed to not get a tongue bite.
Get some nicotine high tobacco, a churchwarden pipe, with a stem as long as possible, and never try to deep smoke.
