Tell me you have no understanding of people or governing without telling me you have zero understanding of people and governing.
This is insane. Black market tobacco. Well, theres good news for Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina. We'll be able to make money from growing tobacco again. Havent since the 90s.
"Sharpen them tommyhawks and spears boys, were back in business!" (Spits tobacco juice.)
The leaders are completely disconnected from the reality of those that they are deciding for.. Well, today they are, at least.
It is unfortunately common that states use dubious legal rational to enforce a supposed public good and thankfully it doesn't always end in slippery slopes though I suspect social media bans and other non sense could be next. A lack of written constitution has always been a bit of an issue for the UK in that regard.
Just recently, I have seen young Brits using cannabis, alcohol and other substances. I think they will laugh at the idea of tobacco sales being restricted in this way. It's yet another policy that suggests that people in power neither know nor care what Britain is like in reality, which explains a lot.
I can imagine a possible society in which I’d support such a ban — but it would be a society with far fewer and way less pressing problems than the UK has today! People may need a smoke in the coming years! (I say that as a fellow anti-smoker.)
