Health Secretary Wes Streeting has hailed a "historic moment for the nation's health" after a law to create a "smoke-free generation" cleared parliament.The final draft of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill completed its journey through the Commons and the Lords on Tuesday.It will stop people who were born on or after 1 January 2009 from ever taking up smoking and will also give ministers new powers to regulate tobacco, vaping and nicotine products – including their flavours and packaging.The bill will become law when it receives royal assent, which is a formality.Its passage through parliament has been welcomed by charities and campaign groups, including Cancer Research and Asthma and Lung UK.https://news.sky.com/story/everyone-born-after-2008-to-be-banned-from-smoking-13534824
>tfw no vape loicense
>>533704552I’m celebrating with the smugglers. Prohibitionism is gonna look like nothing and we don’t have to pay for high tobacco taxes that makes people smuggle it even where is legal.All for a govern that knows only fascism even when it’s trying to look good and let me remind you it’s a LEFT one.
>>533704552how fucking pathetic
To be fair I guess it kinda makes sense that because the government is obligated to pay for all your medical needs then they should be able to restrict your habits that will cost them.
Surely this won't make smoking cool and rebellious again, leading to a thriving black market and increased smoking rates.
>be Bong>in 20 years time>walk into cigarette shop>can I just check your ID to make sure you're over age 37
>>533704809Uh it is now against the lawSo you legally can't smoke.
>>533704806The government doesn't pay for anything, taxpayers do.
>>533704552Not even the Soviets had these kinds of repressive policies
>>533704806sounds like another great reason to not have the government run healthcare, since making new laws to control what you can and cant do is exactly what they love to do.
You might as well smoke weed if you're gonna smoke something. Tobacco seems to be so shit to the point where it doesn't give you any benefits.That being said, I dunno tobacco is such a big industry I dunno if it would shift into a cartel.
>>533704939The government doesn't even have any money. No government does.
>>533704880You must live under a rock. Let me tell you about drugs.
>>533704552>noooooo I need my pointless addictive habit reeeeeeeekys.
>>533705053>I need muh government to tell me what I'm allowed to consooooooooom
I think we have similar ban but I wouldn't know for sure since nobody in the family smokes.
>>533704806>The National Health Service (NHS) is primarily funded through general taxation and National Insurance contributions (NICs)I'm paying for it. Who are they to decide anything
>>533705102correct. you retards can't control yourself, just like I wish they'd ban alcohol too. there are better drugs, with significantly less health risks than nicotine.
>>533704806>The government pays youahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhaahhaahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahaah.My brother in christ most governments PROFITS from tobacco selling.This is creating a stupid solution that is gonna crash and burn but win votes with the retarded, and force your successor to remove it because it’s a fucking mess so you can scream “they are lebad” and ghe retards will buy it.Tldr Bongs are retarded.
That's why half the smokers in UK are buying black market cigs, tax revenue from cigarettes has fallen by almost half but the number of smokers hasn't.
>>533705150Your granpa is laughing at your retardness in a speakeasy.
>>533704552Raping 11 year old girls is ok though.
>>533704806>government is obligated to pay for all your medical needsda fuck you talking about, smoking tax pays for medical bills. covers the whole thing at 40 billion, where as medical billion is half that./
>>533705117What's next? No alcohol? No sex? No rambling? No coffee? No greedy breathing?
>>533705001>>533705117Well the government represents the people and if the people at large don't want to pay extra to deal with one of their individual's unhealthy habits then it's fair to cut the problem off at the source.
>>533705193Only with a loicense
>>533705230>greedy breathingoi, you have a loicense for sucking up that air, m8?!
>>533704552How is this bad? The real question is why all Eastern Europeans are hooked on those IQOS Terea things that stink of shit
>>533705267Fascism do be like that
>>533705181why should I care what some mentally ill, led poisoned boomer was doing? he was an alcoholic and made his problem, everyone else's, just like my brother who I had to shove into a rehab.you mentally ill addicts should be hanged so you don't burden us normal folk. At least you nicotine-heads aren't as retarded as alchies. I'll give you that.
>>533705291>Leave some for the rest of us
>>533705230Everything is next or already happening >>533705267>Well the government represents the peopleDoesnt represent me
>>533704552Yes? Why should I have a shit if some 19 year old zoomers cant ever smoke? Not my problem.
>>533704552>Wes StreetingHanged.
>>533704880Because cocaine has the strongest laws against it in Australia. It is the number one drug sold and generates the most money because it is the hardest to make.The laws set to stop the cocaine addiction ironically create a thriving black market. prohibition does not work and never will.
>>533704552It's insane to smoke when it causes lung cancer for 1/3 of people and you don't want to have that shit, trust me /pol/bros
>>533705504Its also the shittiest addiction, with an extremely crap upside for well stated and proven downsides. Seriously, as someone who used to smoke a pack a day for a decade, get a better addiction, something that you can actually get tangible benefits from.
>>533705267this wasnt put to a referendum buddy.
>>533705153Smoking rates were absolutely collapsing in younger generations even before the advent of vaping, governments have been gradually moving to outright banning smoking for decades now and it's a policy with widespread public support.
>>533705578Pretty sure Labour did say that they were going to do this before the election however, so people quite literally voted for this.
>>533704953It's honestly astonishing what these shitholes are doing, and how pacified their populations are.And they want to take bongs and canadians in to the eu, like the fuck you will
>>533704552Women and homosexuals in panic
>>533704552>are you OK bongbros?Literally, yes. They are all going to be healthier now that smoking is banned.
>>533704552This is based though, fuck addiction peddlers
>>533704552No. We are fucked. Thank you for asking.
>>533704552>born at 31 december 2008, can smoke>born at 1 january 2009, will get imprisoned if smokesDon't laws need to be fair? How do you even defend the fairness of this?
>>533705106>nobody in the family smokes.You've just never tried setting them on fire
>>533705575True, people that smoke smell like ass no matter how much they bathe or put on perfume. It's insanely expensive and dangerous. I went once to a hospital here which had lung cancer patients, I was walking there and literally listening to people who were strapped to contraptions as they could barely get a small breath. It's enough to mentally scar you just to go around and see them. I'd make this mandatory in Serbia for every smoker (40% of adult population here) to go around such a hospital when they start smoking.
>>533705869Taking mandatory school trips to lung cancer hospitals is a great way to learn abiut the consequences of smoking. It's how adults teach and learn.Banning every little shit you don't like is not. That's kindergarten level stupid. Yookayians treat their populations like kindergartner retards because muzzrats can't figure out how to not inbreed
>>533706044teenagers always feel invincible, lung cancer hospital or not.
>why were you imprisoned?>I was born after 2008
>>533705643then i guess people are just stupid and crave the boot. who knew
Another piece of bullshit for Restore to delete on day 1They are absolutely going full ham with agenda nonsense that no one actually wants, knowing full well they have zero chance for next election anyway so ho hum no reason to give a fuck about approval anymore
>>533706044Like I've fucking seen a lot of disturbing shit online and in real life but that really takes the cake. You start to value every single breath of air and every day in your life. Never ever forget that health is the most important thing, everything else is secondary.
>>533704552they just want to poison them even more.>these chemicals aren't to regulation>oy vey we need more fluoride in the cigarettesthey poison us. they are killing us. They poison you as well, but bong thread
>>533705643They didn't though. My understanding is the votes were split hard and labor only barely came out on top with nothing close to a majority. That is to say way less than half of the voters actually voted for the winner
Imagine thinking any Western government wants their population to be healthy, happy, and prosperous in 2026. Lmao. How retarded can you be? They want us dead or enslaved or miserable or dependent upon them. Nicotine raises test. Can't have that interrupt tptb mission of levelling the collective test levels of men into nothing and turning us all into faggots.
>>533706310anyone who thinks this is to protect peoples health will likely support digital ID because its all about keeping children safe online.
Anglos are so fucked man
>>533706471>banning smoking le badthe fuck is your problem?
Raises testosterone goy, just like Clint Eastwood goy.
>>533706681actually yes it's a breach of personal freedoms, cigs are bad alright, but it set a terrible precedentnext it might be red meat because of some bullshit health reasonon another note, outside of cigarettes that are full of additives, traditional tobacco in reasonable quantities is fine, just like alcohol
Smoking was dying anyway. Who cares?
>>533704552yep telling kids they cant do something has always worked out. they totally wont smoke
>>533704552I've never seen someone from the UK ever get upset when the government tells them exactly how to live. They fucking love that shit.
Alright boys who is with me on a tobacco smuggling operation? If they can get in all manner of shitskins, we can get in some fucking leaves.
Shit even here our politicians mock UK for this.Don't worry bongs the strict but fair hand of the norman will return once your antiwhite shithole falls in on itself.
>>533714736pretty sure it's already legal to grow tobacco, just not sell it, you can get seeds on ebay just like tomato seedsthe problem is not getting it in, it's growing it under the radar and distributingso it's only a brit's job here
>>533714736Tobacco smuggling is already a massive operation throughout Europe because of taxes.
>>533714736Tobacco and alcohol are the 200IQ smugglers run.>Low punishment if caught>Sells fast>Sells to everyone with no moral consequences, shit some cops will still look the other way with it.20 pack of Marlboro in Slovakia is 5 euro.Pack of Marlboro in Norway is the equivalent of 20 euro.
>>533714976People have been doing it since time began. Every time we went abroad, we'd have packets of tobacco and cigarettes in everyone's suitcases. I was a kid and had 50 pouches of golden virgina in my suitcase
