Get a load of this latest insanity from the UK.

Remember when normal people used to think, "How ridiculous, this will never fly?" Now, the more Nazi-like the proposal, the more likely I think it'll eventually percolate to the surface as "health" policy:

Smokers should be forced to apply for an annual £200 licence in order to purchase cigarettes, a Government advisor has suggested.

The scheme would ensure smokers had to make a conscious decision to continue the habit and require people to become "registered addicts".

Charge smokers for right to buy cigarettes

Unfrickin’ believable. No, these people aren’t out of control — nah. How in the world is this happening and so quickly to boot? Nazi’s all — litterally. Gees.
