wouldn't it more sense to just ban selling cigarettes?


so you can sell cigarettes from every shop, but you can't smoke them?

If the government has decided that cigarettes are so horrible, why are they only targeting the smokers? why arn't they targeting the tobacco companies, and the shops that sell them too?

We don't like cigarettes and we don't want people to smoke, but instead of taking issue with the creators and sellers, we will just punish the actual victims of this addictive product?

That doesn't seem very logical to me.

You can buy condoms in ASDA but I don't think they want you to use them in there or just outside the doorway.
