All large shops and supermarkets in England must now cover tobacco products from public view, with smaller outlets being given three more years to adapt to the new legislation. The Department of Health said the move was in response to evidence that cigarette displays in shops can encourage young people to take up the habit. Over 300,000 children under 16 smoke each year and five per cent of children aged 11 to 15 are regular smokers, according to its figures. In addition, 39 per cent of smokers say they began before the age of 16. Health Minister Anne Milton said: "We cannot ignore the fact that young people are recruited into smoking by colourful, eye-catching, cigarette displays. "Most adult smokers started smoking as teenagers and we need to stop this trend. "Banning displays of cigarettes and tobacco will help young people resist the pressure to start smoking and help the thousands of adults in England who are currently trying to quit." Any stores found to be breaking the new legislation face a fine of up to 5,000, or even a prison sentence. |
One Question:Snus is sold in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland (Not sure on Iceland and Denmark). It is maily produced in Sweden, but I think. You dont put snus in your mouth and suck it, you put it under lip and let the nicotine and the taste of snus do its job. Snus is not stronger, thinking off the smoke and the tar which stays in your lungs from smoking.
When i was at Germany this Christmas holiday i never saw ''Snus'' Is Sweden the only make/sell Snus?
Snus is like Cigarettes but you put inside your mouth and suck it - lol that was little wired but true. ofc Snus is stronger.
I think in English snus called - Snuff xD
Might stop those too nervous to actually purchase for the first time, although this might be exclusive to shy as f**k people.
Good idea, really.
People are actually shy/nervous to buy cigarettes now?Thank god I'm Welsh!
Haha England.
Thank god I'm Welsh!
Ah it'll spread to the rest of the United Kingdom soon enough.I don't smoke, never have. :lol:

If you really want to stop children and minors from smoking, pass a law that would fine/jail/execute parents who allow their children to do so.
One thing that eludes my understanding is why people continue to buy cigarettes with little to no intention of quitting, especially after labels such as "SMOKING KILLS" (in capital letters and all) were put on the cover, particularly in my country.
Enjoy lung cancer and slow suicide.

I know the government makes alot of money of taxes through smokers, but they should still get rid of cigarettes altogether, they are spending just as much money enforcing all these regulations about smokers/shops selling cigarettes that they may aswell just do it, people wouldn't need to smoke to relax if they didn't start in the first place.

capital lettersooh shit
Calculate the amount of taxes smokers earn for the government and you will understand why they do not really want to stop it.+1
ooh shitWhy smoke in the first place especially if your not addicted...?
I think my body has an immunity to nicotine of some kind (I'm a scientist, ok) as it seems impossible to actually get addicted even given that I smoke whenever I drink a lot (which is 1 or more times a week).
Which is of course, rather f**king nice.

Im from East London, near the olympics yet people in my year (year 10) are still getting served tabbaco AND alcohol.
What has the world come to?!
That you can do something about, shop the owners for breaking laws. Usually it's the little local stores that do it assuming they will get away with it. If someone doesn't report it, they will end up being caught when trading standards randomly send a young kid through their door to purchase those items.
It's not just England and the rest of the United Kingdom creating similar laws, most other countries are following suit as well, including France.
Yes. But why ban smoking if you are selling it? It doesn't make sense.

Well its life, in my area theres kids in primary school smoking. f**ked up places...Same here, 12 years are like 'Smokin' is bad mans bruv' in their little pathetic chav talk.. -.-
Wan't to know why I started smoking ? (couple of days ago).You do know that smoking makes the matters worse in the long run?
Because of the stress I'm having, why, get a f**king clue, because I'm not going to tell it.
:bow:

This.
And you clearly didn't use your brain, smoking increases your nicotine level when you smoke, but when you stop it drops and makes you want to smoke more, and if you don't smoke you just get more stressed out.
Seriously un-educated or what...
Well those bad little mandems will find out what's really bad as they get older.Yes when they are rolling round on the floor with a needle sticking out of their arm and coughing due to lung problems. :roll:
Nop, just stupid.More likely. :D

fyi I'm not even addicted I can stop whenever I want to
Meh not now maybe later
Although I do agree it doesn't make any f**king sense for the government to discourage smoking while they're selling it. f**king moneybag politicians.Politicians are the reason to the worlds problems, did you know there is a cure for cancer but the government wont let pharmacist companies release it because they'd lose so much tax money on the treatments that 'slows down' or 'prolongs' cancer, if they get rid of the problem theres not a problem there to make money on. The governments just full off corrupt money hungry asses that couldn't give a shit about doing their job right because their to busy checking their bank balance.

How on earth is smoking 'cool'? Will it be cool when you have lung problems and continue smoking?
Smoking isn't cool, it bad for the health etc.Smoking is cool because you feel cool when you are smoking it. Keep cool & stay cool.
Get over it.
