nothing to do with the real gun fight on a 007 set this week..but this...( i don't smoke now but this made me 'hate laugh' at the government)
>
Forcing smokers to apply for a £10 permit to buy cigarettes could help people to quit, a government health adviser said.
Professor Julian Le Grand, chairman of Health England, said more people might stop smoking if they had to "opt in" by applying for an annual permit and paying a £10 fee.
------
what a PILE OF SHIT.....£10 for a license ( 40 cigs equivalent)
this is just new leeching methods the poor will suffer ..it wont help a middle /upper class person give up smoking will it!!
10 pounds now 5 years time 100 pounds.....10 years time 1000 pounds.
it shows the state of this country £10 is so much money it will help poor people to quit. after working 45 hours in factories and ending up with pennies at the end of the month. .. is what they meant to say.

as an ex smoker i think this is a good idea. however it should be free. otherwise will rightly be branded as a money spinner. on the contrary i can see the drive in grey imported tobbacco going through the roof.

We have more than 4 television channels, what are you talking about? Also, every silly idea gets publicised here - unlike the USA, they very rarely make it past the "being laughed at" stage, plus it's hardly comparable to something like The Patriot Act. Also, the CCTV is mainly in city centres and on public transport, to curtail anti-social behaviour from the UK's most embarrassing blemish, the binge boozers.
