They haven't thought this through very carefully have they? Don't they realize the correct policy is to tax tobacco very heavily and they spend the money, at least in part, on advertisements telling the smokers how stupid, evil, and Republican they are?

Ummm... this is one of 2 nations at each others throats day-by-day and constantly threatening each other with nuclear weapons, and someone there doesn't want anyone to sit back, have a cigarette, and think it over? Do they really want to add that extra bit of tension to those making such decisions?

Inspired by the Liberals in America no doubt.

The very same ones pushing Europe...... started in the Clinton years of course.

When I was an Undergrad, we used to buy what were called "Indian Cigarettes" from the Bangladeshi grocers near us in the Bronx. They were flavored and only burned for like two minutes.

Now, I stick to my Dominican friends H. Upmann and Partagas.

The Nannyists in America and the corrupt, greedy WHO, led by former director of the National Socialist Party, Gro Harlem Brundtland. Wonder if it bothers her to be called a "Nazi"?
