Coincidentally Sith I’ve just, against my better judgement, bought 400 fags for a mate in Derby. It’s going on forty five years since I bought myself any but, looking at the graphic pictures on the packet...one of a dead young body and another of a tar filled lung...if that doesn’t stop people in their tracks then I doubt any amount of education will.
As for vaping...the information is so vague and the scientific findings so contradictory that I doubt Sunak’s distraction tactics are going to have any effect. So...agreeing with your thoughts on smoking and vaping but I don’t expect any real change any time soon.
Extending the debate to other less legal drugs, I honestly think it’s time for legislation to legalise them, thus ensuring better quality control, cutting out the squalid ‘middle man’ unscrupulous dealers and gaining some income via taxation.
