"No one would be able to buy cigarettes without the permit, under the idea proposed by Health England."

Wanna bet? We tried the same thing with alcohol several years back, didn't work out as planned.

might work.
they put up with a nice fee for the priviledge of watching TV.

---

The annual cost of a colour TV licence (set by the Government) is currently £135.50. That works out at £11.29 per month - about 37p per day for each household.

A black and white TV licence is £45.50.

The licence (whether colour or black and white) is free if you are 75 or over, and half-price if you are registered blind.
