Britain's prime minister proposes axing tobacco entirely by raising minimum purchase age by one year every year
ยท Oct 4, 2023 ยท NottheBee.com

This is absolutely tragic news for the joy-killers that used to be a beacon of freedom in the world.

The UK won't let you pray silently outside an abortion clinic, they require a permit for just about anything, and they have essentially become the quintessential nanny state.

But this latest news feels like the last straw:

Yes, this is the plan that British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak wants members of parliament to vote on: Automatically increasing the age one can buy cigarettes and other smoking tobacco products by one year each year.

Under the plan, the age of sale would rise from 18 every year so a child aged 14 today would never be allowed to buy tobacco.

Smoking isn't good for you. Everyone knows that.

But you do know that you could just let people live their lives, right? Have you ever thought of that?

The UK seriously went from this:

To this:

Churchill is rolling in his grave.

The absolute state of the UK.

The government has set an ambition for England to be smoke free - defined as less than 5% of the population smoking - by 2030.

He also said the government would consider restricting the sale of disposable vapes, to tackle the rising rates of children using them.

A consultation on tightening rules on vape flavours is likely to be planned.

It's just so dumb. And so anti-freedom.

Guys, the UK is gone.

Light one up today in honor of Churchill and in remembrance of the great country that once was.
