Sunak proposes raising smoking age every year to create 'smoke-free' generation - Lemmy.world

I see angry wankers want to moan for the sake of moaning.

Eliminating smoking is a goos thing! I’ll take my wins whenever possible, doesn’t happen all that often.

First and foremost, people have the right to slowly kill themselves with cigarettes as long as it isn’t harming innocent bystanders.

Arguably more importantly, the proposed ban is worryingly dystopian.

Finally, agreeing with anything Sunak does is unforgivable. And in this case would reflect neo-liberal sympathies.

They’re literally cancer sticks…

I guess we should allow people to sell antifreeze as both an industrial chemical and a soft drink. Steak, people have the right to quickly and painfully kill themselves as well.

Humans have been smoking tobacco for thousands of years. Banning it will only allow the black market to swell to an unimaginable size
By that logic we should continue slavery. Aren’t you worried someone’s going to purchase one of your children on the black market!?
Slaves don’t grow on trees though
Moving the goalposts or something like that?
