The prohibitionist anti-smoking fascists don’t go away – much like the monster in a horror movie that you think has been slain, and just won’t stay dead.
Leading doctors have called for a ban on cigarette sales to those born after 2000 in a programme of “progressive prohibition” aimed at curbing smoking-related deaths.
They urged the British Medical Association to lobby for a complete ban on the sale of cigarettes to anyone born in this century at the body’s annual public health medicine conference.
Sigh… The USA during the twenties taught these poltroons nothing, it seems. Modern Al Capones will be rubbing their hands with glee – for, you see, there is a complete ban on marijuana, cocaine, heroin and amphetamines and no one – but no one – born in the twenty-first century will ever buy or consume these products, will they? Some probably already are…
What will happen is the suppliers of these products will simply add tobacco to their list of available lines for sale. And in any case, France is a short hop for those of us in the south, so people can stock up in Le Clerks if they so wish. Either way, prohibition – in full, or in part – simply does not work.
That’s the practical argument. The moral one is much simpler – if young people choose to take up tobacco smoking, that is their business and no one else’s.
Tim Crocker-Buqué, a specialist registrar in public health medicine with the NHS, said: “Humanity has never developed anything more deadly than the cigarette.”
If Mr Crocker-Bucket actually believes that, he is a moron.
