 I honestly believe that on one hand we have the hype from governments in telling the world they will ban it in the future but in reality they won't and they can't. The amount of revenue they earn from ourselves is too much of a financial gap to breach.

However whilst they are trying, but failing to out price us what they should be doing is lowering the taxes and promoting the fact that there are no cures for death however smoking cigarettes is less harmful that alcohol for example which is not just readily available but advertised wherever you go.

For example, drink driving, under the influence or the ones committing crimes and hiding behind that they were drunk and didn't know what they were doing. Bull.

You have airplanes turn around half way through a flight to kick out rowdy drunk passengers. If you murder someone you're mostly likely to get 20 years to life, murder someone whilst drunk driving and you'll get at best 2 to 4 years.

Someone please tell me how laws work or is it just in the UK.

Take drugs, smoke weed, all the same as above, you're out of control.

Smoking cigarettes however, keeps you calm, helps your mental health state, keeps you focused etc etc etc. So what do they tax the most on.

It should be the opposite way around, and hopefully the governments will wake up and do what's right.

Not only do we help start the next generations of smokers, our children are contributing to the financial state of our countries.

whilst drunks are costing us, extra police work etc etc and that takes out from the financial state of our countries.

Something's not right here.

Danika, we need to start campaigning for a new logical forward thinking governments in our respective countries.
