Pretty sure that banning the cANCer for a year could save more lives.

Oh god.. is the ANC reaching deep again...

The Black Market welcomes your proposal and thanks you for your continued support.

 

[Bernoldus Niemand]

Good luck the black market already took over.

 

[Flanders]

Oh look, it's the government... our government... knowing what's best and caring so much about us again.

The idea is to ban cigarette sales to those born between 2006 and 2010.

lol

Even though I find smoking fags disgusting good luck try to curb that

Only 157 deaths a year from lung cancer then? Less than the murder rate of 80 a day.

When the mentality is such... then anything is possible I suppose:

One cigarette death is a cigarette too many.

So tobbaco is going to get banned and not nicotine?

Maybe you guys will have to grow your own tobacco and smoke it in you private property like the weed guys.

Doubt there are many here born between 2006 and 2010 though.

One cigarette death is a cigarette too many.

The Prof remarks on 8 million deaths at 1:45.
One death is a tragedy but 8 million is simply a statistic.

So if you're born in 2011 it's fine, you're allowed to smoke?

Hold up, I thought it was illegal for anyone born in or after 2006 and later to buy smokes ANYWAY currently... isn't the legal purchasing age 18 already?

 

[UrBaN963]

So a second law to reinforce the unenforced law which bans those under the age of 18 from buying cigarettes?

I am sure it will work!

I presume the intention is that the ban would continue after people in that group reached 18.

Not saying it's a good idea, but that has to be the intention, as you quite correctly mention the existing ban on sales to under 18s.

Who knows, lol.
