Ban on alcohol and cigarettes in South Africa

[Groen92]

Who are these 2000 and how do we show this bitch that there are 20000000 people that oppose her politicrap?

That mollock only cares about the 2000 dumb dumbs, not anyone else

Honest question, as much as i think the ban is a horrible idea, has one of these online petitions ever led to anything actually happening/changing?

 

[Groen92]

300 000

Wow! That's a leap!

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

Thank goodness I vape. Going to replenish my stock tomorrow.

They banning cigarettes but yet still considering releasing 19000 prisoners. It blows mind....

So says Deputy Justice Minister Patekile Holomisa who was addressing a virtual meeting of the Portfolio Committee on Justice and Correctional Services and Select Committee on Security and Justice.

I feel quite fortunate. I have a story to tell the grandkids one day about how I lived through 3 of the greatest shitshows in South African history: Jacob Zuma, a Parliament with hard hats and rubber boots and Lucky Packet Lockdown.

They could get smokes on the inside, they might want to go back.

If we make it and 2021 isn't much, much worse.

Lol R600 on my end

R399. And legit, only smoke dunhill.

That said, if he has nothing left I'll just when I have a pack left. And smoke 1 every three days. It's a real and proper high.

I suggest fellow smokers try it like that just for the headrush and you literally feel itself working it's way into your blood stream. Amazing.

 

[Sneeky]

Said it before, you just can't trust a word these overpaid public servants say.
Just like before the lockdown, dont panic buy, you will be able to shop for what you need.
Last minute, no booze no smokes.
Same again, ciggies/ vapes on sales 1 May, now again, not.

2000 out of 70000, just

Concur. After long-distance travel that 1st cigarette is brutal.

 

[HideInLight]

I'm really struggling to figure out the science behind why active smokers are doing so well with Covid 19, yes they have a more vulnerable target fr the virus, but so far it seems plausible that getting to that vulnerable target involves going through a gunfight for the virus.

If you were a previous smoker and the damage was already done, then the data is more in line with what was initially thought...

They're banning the sale of e-cigs as well.

Smoke a cigarette halfway and nip it. Put aside until next day and smoke. Ultimate head rush.

Use to do it when smoking pipe too...a few hits and put fresh tobacco on top. Leave to die until next morning.

Light up and get totally fukked up...

Aah the good old days.

Its perfectly logical: Drug dealers will be back on the streets, but cigarette sales will result in arrests...

Smokers unite - stop giving money to any charity - f them all

 

[TheRoDent]

She said more than 2 000 people were against cigarettes being sold, and the government, after some discussion, decided to heed this suggestion, based on possible health implications.

So, that's all it takes now. 2000 people?

I wonder if it will work if we get more than 2000 signatures against certain BEE requirements ? This does not compute, but I suppose, that's not the point.

 

[Groen92]

The President was "consulting" when he said it would be allowed.

He should watch out. He'll tear his hamstrings with all this back peddling he's doing.
