I'm no fan of smoking or vaping, but what another load of flip-flopping - having come up with those lies about taxing meat and 7 bins etc, this party of personal freedoms is going to (try) to stop people smoking.

Another debacle.

How about breathing? That should get the UK to Net Zero in short order.

Need to add farting, that should definitely be banned.

My logic was that if you're not breathing, you won't be farting either biggrin

As the war on drugs and Prohibition worked so well, what could possibly go wrong?
