    Lower risk nicotine products should be free, subsidized by normal cigarettes. but it needs to be a repeatable script at low cost for 6 or 12 months at a time so the products aren’t resold or any of that sillyness. then you can still get your nicotine hit, and maybe later on start to taper the strength down to zero.

      It’s not that easy

      people have hard lives and smoking is stress relief and enjoyment

      maybe if people had less stressful lives they wouldn’t need a ciggie

        I smoked for 20 years, quitting was not easy, but the world wasn’t the problem, I was.

        Drop down grades while repeatedly asking yourself if you want to be smoking for the rest of your life.

          I’m glad your experience of the world is not a problem for you

          for many people it is and they have few ways to cope with the stress and limited resources to change the world

          a bit of understanding here would not go astray

          and grades? you mean ecigs?

          I’m talking about cigarettes.

            Grade = strength of cigarette

            You clearly do not want to quit, be honest about that, stop making excuses, and playing games.

    smuggled fake cigarettes and rampant gambling

    it will take politicians who can’t be bribed and who tell it like it is and who don’t give a fuck if they lose the next election

    politicians have to stand up and say smoking and gambling is evil and a blight on the community, they destroy health and destroy families , there is nothing positive

    and when people argue say “why do you hate families, why do you want people to get cancer? Shame on you you fucking psycho”
