Anyhow it has been 25 years since I went cold turkey and gave away smoking after having the habit for 24 years, I was a heavy smoker at the end and the thought of dying from lung disease such as emphysema would be dreadful as I have seen a few close friends die from this gasping for their last breath, bloody horrible way to die!
These days I exercise regularly and feel fit for my age.

I believe that we should have a ADR law type of thing on smokes, reducing the worst of the harmful and getting hooked cravings with such rubbish as the years go by. that way by X amount of years people will not have to deal with such problems.
A company should not make a toxic harmful product like such nowadays as it is, because it's unethical and so cruel.
The Taxing path does work in some way, but I still see young people taking it up, not to mention when I see them smoking
It's not the smoking that bothers me so much but the criminal thing about it is getting people hooked on the rubbish.
Some types of smokes are a pain to put up with others smoking such but other smokes are not that bad. PJ were ok and some other stuff they rolled up smelt ok.so you can have smokes that do not bother non smoking people at all and I am sure you can make smokes that are healthier than we have easy as.
We are being played by clowns in government for sure.
