Reformed smokers are the worst. They don't agree with the price of them or banning them until they have given up and that is because they know they could easily return to smoking.
Congratulations Logger.
From one ex-smoker to another. I smoked for quite a while too, about 12 years when I come to count it up. I would never go back to smoking, because I remember how much better I felt once I'd been stopped for a few months.
The troubel with ideas like this is that they create an underground demand and supply of illegal substances.
Your civil liberties do need to be respected and it does seem very draconian.One point to consider however.What about the rights of children who have to share a house with smoking parents/guardians?
What will happen for non smokers who usually go to the shop and purchase cigarettes for people who are housebound?
If they're so ill that they're housebound, they shouldn't be smoking.
Maybe that is the only pleasure they have in their life! They would be better off dead if that is the extent of the pleasures in their life.
Home delivery?
I think that once the permit is introduced it will be swiped each time a purchase is made and will all be logged so the goverment will then be wondering how the unemployed afford cigarettes. I hope it helps catch all these fiddling dole scroungers who seem to have more cash to spend than people who work.
