Yeah from 2015 cigarettes can't be seen in shops anymore and (from what I've gathered) have to be sold from a hatch. Only prices can be shown instore

Silly. Even as a non-smoker I see this as pathetic

Terrible idea, I doubt it will even be that effective but that's not even the point. The government should stop thinking it's their job to protect people from themselves, people should have the right to choose to smoke if they so wish, trying to hide cigarettes away in the desperate hope that it will make people give up or not start is a stupid idea.

Where do they draw the line as well? What about alcohol? Causes a lot more violence, leads to a lot of deaths and illness as well, why dont they hide that below the counter. Or even chocolates? Obesity is a big health problem as well, shouldnt they be hidden so that fat people can resist temptation

This isnt what they are doing though. They dont actually want people to stop. They would be fecked, moneywise.

They just need to appear to be doing stuff to make people stop. Afterall, surely if they were that concerned about peoples health, they would just stop selling cigarettes/tobacco all together.

Nah, they just have to LOOK like they are concerned, whilst hoping that the changes wont deter anyone.

Loads of people seem to support this conspiracy, and I understand why. Smoking DOES make the government money but I really do think they want to cut the smoking rate - else why would they spend billions on schemes to try and cut the rates. In a way the government have some kind of stable income from cigarettes, so it makes a certain percent of revenue. As more people quit, the tax goes up. Simple. I personally think they want a low smoking rate so we appear better in all of the global health indexes.

I smoke/d so I am not of those people saying this just to be against smoking.

Its dead simple to answer that one, they invest money in advertising etc, so that they are seen to be doing something.

Otherwise one day in the future some smoker who is slowly dying of some smoking related disease/illness could take the government to court and say, "how come you never informed us/banned smoking?".

The way that past governments have imposed controls on not only smoking but other health related issues (COSHH, Sale of foods etc) negates the possibility of being sued for taking taxes through tobacco while at the same time not bothering about the health of smokers.

How is making the packets all white going to change anything? If they are that bothered by smoking then they should just ban it full stop, but they won't as they will lose too much revenue that smokers bring.

And as for pollution, what about the pollution from all the cars/vehicles etc.

Its quite a cunning plan by the government. It means cigarette manufacturers dont need to use high grade cardboard for the boxes to take inks etc.

They will be able to pick up the cheap job lots of recycled cardboard that cereal manufacturers are now discarding.

The mineral oils that caused the cereal makers to stop using recycled stuff will then leach into the tobacco, killing off the smokers quicker.

Less smokers will mean it will appear to the general public that the government have finally got the message across that smoking kills.

And no one in the cardboard industry looses jobs. For the foreseeable future by which time the cardboard and tobacco workers take up the dead smokers jobs.

Dont see the point, it wont make people want to stop and it wont stop those who intend to start.

Let people smoke if they want to, thats what I say!

Yesterday was No Smoking Day
and Kate Moss the Utter Trouble Maker
marches out with her stinking fag in her gob.
She is one Stinker that gets younger girls smoking
and feeling Sexy.

They used to have ads back in 1968
that showed women being more Free as they smoked.
In 1969 they were banned.

Saggy cellulite - not a good look especially in her profession. It's well known that smoking ages the skin.
