Ah did they not do it in the end, I knew they were trying to but never heard any more about it so didn't know if it went through.
We will see, as you say the problem is tobacco companies have a lot of money, I just don't wish to see prohibition under the guise of public health, prohibition is always a tool of oppression and not in peoples interest. I'd rather see an outright ban in public places to actually benefit public health :)
I mean, is it? I'm happy to have stuff like asbestos prohibited. There's a bunch of harmful stuff that is banned all the time and it's a net positive in my opinion
Yeh that is fair, I concede that saying "always" is not accurate.
