I remember that publicity campaign. I'm not saying its not true, because I don't know, but I did wonder if it was propaganda. When that approach didn't curb bootlegging, they next tried to claim the bootleg trade was funding international terrorism, and when enough people had said, er no it isn't, its funding 'Bob with the battered old Transit for his beer and holidays', they next took the approach that it was making cigarettes more accessible to kids. That last one (the current campaign) is right though. A bootleg supplier is probably unlikely to care too much if the buyer is under 16 (or is it 18 now?) and therefore too young to buy baccy products. For that reason alone, I think its fair enough for the law to nab them when they can.

 

I smoked from the age of 14, I gave up after about 30yrs.
It was my choice to start and mine to stop.


Maybe they should tax people who do sport and end up in hospital as a result.
