Blame government and yourselves

In order to save cigarette smokers from THEMSELVES, the governments you continue to give your support to are putting the lives of the entire nation at risk.Why do government favour the lives of smokers over that of the rest of the population.It is their job to protect us from FORCE and FRAUD - not INFLICT it upon us.Stop giving them your permission to do this.The reason for the HUGE taxes on cigarettes is not to save the lives of smokers, (they be misled - they dont care about your health) but to save them money (your money - ie TAX) on the overburdened health system. Perhaps instead of taxing cigarettes, they should deny smokers free healthcare, making them responsible for their poor health choices. - Its not like health insurance is not available.


Good change of policy

Before you have said taxes are to blame and should be removed. Thankfully, you have now added the other side of the coin - healthcare. Can't argue with that. The namby pamby state thinks it wrap everyone in cotton wool and it costs a fortune. Let people look after themselves, and if they make dumb decisions it's their lookout. Agree.P.s. The offender is clearly out of the Jabbawockeez. He probably had white gloves on.
