Britain is on course to ban smoking for an entire generation after MPs voted in favour of Rishi Sunak's plan, despite facing some rebellion and backlash. The legislation, if passed, will mean that anyone aged 15 or younger today will never be able to buy cigarettes legally. Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire join GMB to discuss what the impact of this ban would be should it go through.

What is absolutely hilarious about the UK trying to ban smoking is that in the USA since 2021 we are moving to INCREASE smoking by making marijuana legal. As of 2024 marijuana or cannabis is now a $40 Billion industry with 15,000 legal dispensaries and it is expected to grow to $115 Billion by 2030. The number of adults who smoke has risen from 7% in 2013 to 13% in 2024, and is expected to gradually increase to about 20% of the population by 2035. So, what is the UK going to do when to get a trade deal with the USA, there might be a demand to legalize cannabis in your country?

I've actually been thinking this myself, several times, that if smoking is made illegal for kids already below the age where they are not allowed to smoke, then why not this harmful and deadly substance become a thing of the past? Unless some teenager are already addicted to smoking, there should be alternatives, but for example to start in 2025 with making it illegal for anyone born after 2015? But then the taxes imposed on tobacco products should also be used to make available alternative nicotine products for those that in some way or another, because of smuggling and illegal cigarettes, still gain this addiction, just like other addicts get help in some form. It is a harmful addiction, just as bad as many drugs and worse then some things that are illegal.

@michaelrathbone7258 Месяц назад

These people are here to feed you the conversation so you don't even think for yourself.

The age limit should be raised from 18 to 30 and a weekly limit to about 50 cigarettes or a couple of cigars. Creating a tobacco consumer account with an ID card that must be presented anywhere in shops when buying tobacco would be a reasonable approach. People are less likely to start smoking after the age of 30. Freedom to smoke should never be taken away.
