It all seems pointless if the law can be overturned just like that. Yes there will be a rise in black markets, that sounds grim what's happening in Australia. I don't think the UK has room for more criminal activities. Initially I was thinking how great it would be to have a smoke free generation, now I'll remove my rose tinted glasses.. -

Wow belated happy 100th birthday to your Mum! That's amazing! I'm not sure how they're going to enforce the rule but with their talk of Digital ID I'm sure they'll find a way. Avg price of a pack of cigarettes in the UK is about $22.20, goes up every year. They're more targeting the Retailers and will fine them for the sale. It's a difficult one, I just hope the message to the kids is that it's just not worth the risk! -

Gday New Zealand put the same type of ban in place but quick as a flash the next change of government overturned it. Sucks but that the way it goes. In Australia the highly taxed cigs have breed a black market in cigs and vaps. But with all that illegal it also attracts the crime. Criminals being crimes have a habit of burning down each others shop fronts. Like when the bikies tried to take take over the tattoo industry and thier version of competition was to burn each other out. It became impossible to insure and the stores owners would not lease to a tattoo business. Sames now happening to tabacco stores now. On another level state government is closing them down big fines and all the rest. But the big one is that the owner find the site can’t have a tabacco related business for 6 months. No one would be prepared to rent on those terms. Who knows where it lead. Have to buy your vapes on Temu? - Yesterday

Congrats on your Mum's Centennial Birthday! She sure must have a rock solid constitution to be still going strong at 100 and still smoking. Not many can do that. I've heard that song before myself and yeah, no way it would be a hit today -
NOPE!!
