    And taxes are expensive, is this the logic?


    We have the highest tax in Europe on ciggarettes, and we banned ten packs. (would you refuse an alco a pint but offer him a litre of vodka instead?)


    I heard lung cancer is quick to kill, hard to spot and with little treatment.

    Fags are addictive, and openly sold, and sold in a minimum amount that while I am trying to quit, lasts a week at least on one or two a day.

    I go 3-4 days without a smoke, and need ONE to continue on, but have to buy 20.

    WTF

    Why isn't this discussed?

    We are kept addicted with minimum purchases, and taxed til we die cheaply and quickly, with only ourself to blame :rolleyes:
