Smoking Will Be Banned For Anyone Born After 2008

CHILDREN aged 17 or under will face a lifelong ban on purchasing cigarettes in a “landmark” bill which hopes to make a smoke-free generation.

The Tobacco and Vapes Bill passed through Parliament and will make it illegal for anyone born after 2008 to purchase tobacco from a shop.

Additionally, ministers will have the authority to impose stricter regulations on tobacco, vapes, and other byproducts of nicotine.

Both the Commons and Lords have approved a final draft of the ruling, and it is set to become law once it gets royal assent.

The law is one of several changes aimed at addressing the negative health impacts of smoking, which is one of the leading avoidable causes of death, disability, and illness in the nation.

Expanding smoke-free regulations and outlawing vaping outside of schools and hospitals, as well as in vehicles transporting children, are other steps.

Vaping outside hospitals will still be allowed as a way to help those trying to quit.

Makes you chuckle, doesn’t it – they can’t prevent the small boats from crossing the Channel, but they can stop people from smoking.

Obviously, some people won’t be bothered by this, but doesn’t it seem a tad bizarre that our government decided to lower the voting age, but you’re now not allowed to smoke?

People stockpile your cigarettes because they’re going to be worth their weight in gold – it’s called the Black Market.

These are ridiculous laws created to control you because it’s all about control. Ultimately, you won’t be allowed to drive, own your own home, or buy anything from a shop because it will all be done online.

There will be no eating out, there will be curfews, and those who work at night will have to have permits to go out or travel to work.

There will be no socialising, and there will definitely be no Freedom of Speech, but there will still be predators on the streets, feasting off those who don’t follow the rules.

The least of our nation’s problems, in my opinion, is preventing people from smoking and vaping, and who’s going to police all of this? If people want to do something, they will find a way because all it’s going to do is make it more appealing for people, and where are the government going to get that lost tax from – yes, of course, the taxpayer!
