  • UK moves to ban smoking for everyone born after 2008

    Jump

  • No one here has suggested banning everything that costs the public money.

    Smokers, on the other hand, are a minority in society. And in a democratic society, majorities can form to create laws.

  • Obesity is a little different issue since nutrition is not optional; smoking, on the other hand, is quite non-essential.

    There are also programs that address the problem of obesity. The regulation of sugar use as an ingredient in food, for example. But laws in this field are subject to greater influence from the food manufacturers' lobby. The tobacco lobby, on the other hand, no longer wields as much power, as the majority of people are non-smokers.

  • We see who decides: the government. In Britain they are elected to do so. That's democracy. The majority of people are non-smokers, and the tobacco lobby no longer has the power it used to.

  • They don't die cheap if they're treated for cancer several years before the final breath. Billions are lost to society annually as a result. Cancer treatment is largely futile, yet it's overly expensive. The revenue from tobacco tax is far from sufficient to cover that.

  • Even if they're smoking at home, the enormous costs to the healthcare system caused by smokers every year are a burden on the shoulders of everyone in society.

  • Trump tells Iran to sign deal with US or ‘the whole country is going to get blown up’

    Jump

  • Other statesmen and journalists should also learn – and make it clear that Trump is making himself look more and more ridiculous and that all his threats are simply weird and clumsy.

  • Same here, never used LinkedIn and don't see any reason for that. LinkedIn is full of self-promoters, none of whom I want to become.

  • There are also attempts to lobby again for absurdly expensive, economically and socially unsustainable nuclear power solutions which are intended to lead us into further long-term dependencies.

  • Vaping likely to cause lung and oral cancer, Australian researchers find in new review of evidence

  • Lungs are simply not made for absorption of substances of the vapor. The lung tissues are very delicate and are there for the exchange of gases. Everything else is a pollution and causes irritation.

  • Bitcoin is not scalable enough to be used in general payment transactions. It's simply far too slow. It is not a currency.
