The bill has passed its second reading in the Commons. Around half of the Tories and all of Labour and the Lib Dems voted for Rishi's policy. A policy that seems to have been copied from New Zealand - a country that later dropped the idea...
It means smoking and vaping will be banned for those born in 2009 or after, forever.
I find this level of nannying and interference absolutely pathetic, not to mention quite sinister. What will they try to ban next? Booze, hamburgers, steaks, holidays, motorcycling, rock climbing, skate boarding... what other enjoyable things where these control freaks imagine there is danger that people must be protected from? The fact that these arrogant scum feel entitled to rob people of their agency like this is appalling.
How about: leave free men and women to figure things out for themselves and live the way they please? Yes, there are vices in the world for us all to enjoy or shun as we please. It is part of the challenge and beauty of life to go through that process and navigate it all for one self and make decisions.
What is most irritating about this sad policy is that these low-talent, low IQ grifters - who are shyt at everything they involve themselves in - could possibly imagine that this is needed right now when the country seems to be falling to bits, is divided, edging closer and closer to war, covered in pot holes, practically borderless, and weighed down by a mountain of debt.
Well done, Rishi, there's a good little prefect! A crap policy, nobody asked for, to mark your legacy. Fully supported by Labour, who give us a taste for what they will be like in power.
The irony is that I imagine this will just encourage youths to seek out tobacco and vapes the way they manage to get hold of cannabis and it will be a cause for them to stick two fingers up at the establishment. Perhaps even more of them will end up smoking as a result.
And before anybody asks, no I'm not a smoker and wouldn't be affected by this anyway. Also, don't waste my time with the "protecting the NHS" argument. If things must be banned to protect it then let's get shut of the bloody thing instead.
