Problem is if you allow this to go ahead the next 'cause' is going to be what ?
Alcohol ?.... causes of more social problems statistically.
Petrol ?.... how many folk have breathing issues because of the environment they live in ?
Chocolate ?. . .You get constant media-ache on how obesity is causing/going to cost the country in the future.....
Where do you want it to stop ?

@Picklebobble2 I think the 'cause' is common to all. It's about getting people to think about the consequences of their actions as consumers and take more personal responsibility. Something we have not done much of in the past. If a well informed nation decides they wish to continue with a particular habit, then so be it. Nothing wrong with a government presenting objective facts, even if they do seem unpopular and inconvenient.

@Picklebobble2 The post is about cigarettes; not alcohol, petrol, chocolate or any other potential 'cause' you choose to suggest. Those are not being banned, and are irrrelevant to the specific question about the sale of cigarettes.

@Picklebobble2 Regarding cigarettes, which is what the thread is about, there was no 'point' whatsoever to your response.
