The government had already pledged to resurrect Rishi Sunak's flagship smoking ban, which was shelved before the election. But Sir Keir Starmer's government could now go further.

        I don’t see what the fuck you’re talking about here. Tax the cigarettes to compensate for the extra cost of medical care for the smokers and don’t infringe upon people’s freedoms. I don’t see what’s so complicated about that. Only the people who are costing the government money are paying the additional tax for the costs they themselves are causing. Are you fucking stupid or what?

          You’ll get it when you’re older.

            So you’re just the stereotypical boomer who hates anything getting taxed? might surprise you but a lot of these are young kids that you seem to be joking about are actually adults now and they can vote and hopefully we vote to abolish your fucking aged care.
