Forcing smokers to apply for a £10 permit to buy cigarettes wont make a blind bit of difference. Smokers fork out a fiver a packet daily, whats a tenner to these people?

It is designed to reduce smoking in those under age and under 21- ultimately it will put some older smokers off too
You have a license to watch TV, a license to drive your car- why not have a license for something which is recognisably dangerous to your health and those around you
Certainly a tenner licence would’nt make a difference. It’s only the cost of two packets of fags.
A £100 licence would’nt make a difference. Maybe a £1000 licence would make some people ponder, but if people dont want to stop then they would find the money somehow.Smokers are addicts. I was one. It’s harder to kick smoking than to kick Heroin. To even imagine that a tenner licence would make someone stop is laughable.

Yeah and how many people do you know who are put off watching tv because they have to buy a licence?…….none.
Why not go the whole hog and force people to buy individual alcohol permits as well :roll: ffs if people want to smoke in their own homes (as they CANT now do it in public places) then thats their choice surely. Thats my opinion and im a NON smoker!
Crikey aint we already being squeezed enough! :shock:
Do you know how cigarette packets carry warnings like “smoking kills” and “smoking causes impotency” etc. Why is it that beer cans dont have simliar labels? :? Bizarre isnt it.
