The U.K.'s LIFETIME (Permanent) SMOKING BAN For Those Born After 2009 (But ....)

Wow! Can YOU see a SMOKING BAN ever becoming LAW in the U.S.? Pigs will be flying to the moon. Wow.

I ONLY heard about it today -- today being when it passed Parliament. Still needs to be signed into Law by the King -- but that is a formality (especially given that he was never a fan of smoking).

The U.K. can enact such a Law because they provide FREE HEALTHCARE, i.e., the (infamous) NHS (National Health System). Smoking costs the NHS a ton, so banning it helps curb National expenditure. This is the rationale & justification.

That said, this, at face value, looks very unBritish -- given the emphasis on personal rights.

So, I had to have a QUICK look.

Hilarious. VERY BRITISH.

No penalties, ever or whatsoever, for an individual.

Enforcement & Penalties are for SELLERS.

Bingo! Very British. Preserve Individual RIGHTS.

I love it. I love it.

Yes, it will CURB smoking & vaping to an extent -- BUT it is NOT a FULL BAN.

Oh, so British. I love it.
