Fsck me, so the case will only be heard on the 26th.

From a court point of view, that is a relatively urgent time frame...

Interesting:

Edit: Ok there goes that idea that blocking smokes will help a respiratory disease. It doesnt look like this dam think is killing people the way you think it is.... https://futurism.com/neoscope/covid-19-patients-cardiac-damage

Its using heart attacks and blood clotting to do it, take that NDZ.

Gosh, my tarry tarry heart isn't in great shape, but I prefer to tangle with the Rona instead of sitting around having decisions made for me by people who fancy themselves the nation's parents. No fvking thanks.

Who would have thought the Tobacco trade would push a political fight.

Ok, just want to check something, are the FITA and BAT cases 2 seperate things?

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

I did not see how long the goverment has to respond now?

Probably stumped as to what they will respond with.

They will now have to prove how a few weeks of not smoking will reduce the spread, among other things. And that's before they even get to the point of not giving anyone else a chance to make submissions due to the expectation created.

FITA hit every nail on the head. Will be fun to watch these fsckers squirm in court...

Yes, separate cases.

FITA represents 'local' manufacturers who are all significant donors to the EFF and NDZ campaign. They are vehement opponents of BATSA and other multinationals.

I'm no smoker but I fully support you lot. Funny to see all the off brand packs of smokes on here.

Stay strong and remember, every illicit fag is less money in the bags of the f...kers that are power tripping right now.

How pissed off would cigarette smokers be if weed becames legal to buy before cigarettes. Not that it would actually happen as government has until September to pass legislation for weed.
