Many years ago when I was a smoker, I never got a cold.
I wonder whether current smokers or 'vaper's have a resistance to Covid?

Do you feel lucky, punk? ;-)

My daughter’s mother in law (62) is about to get her leg chopped off below
the knee thanks to smoking.

I wonder why smokers are put off you by flu jabs?

Don't know but apparently smoking and the selling of the cigarettes is to be
banned in New Zealand very soon now.The big problem over there is the Maoris
as they are the ones who still smoke.

Its just another contributory factor to killing us. I guess if you can
actually stop one of the things why would you not do so. The answer of
course is both money taxes etc, and addiction.
In small quantities the drug is not really the issue, its all the crud that
comes from burning tobacco that is, its like shoving your head into a
chimney every day when a coal fire is burning. I remember the smogs in
London and I guess it may well be that from then and my parents smoking for
years, my life will be limited by prior damage.
If you think its got get a smoking machine and a hood and see how long you
last!

Actually not really soon, but really drawn out.

They want to make it so that those who aren't old enough to have ever legally
bought tobacco already, will never be legally able to buy it, by having an age
limit that constantly slides upwards.

That's interesting; they could do that for other crimes such as murder.

So, "very soon" or not, depending how old you are. And, a workable way
of doing it & good luck to them.

Nah.
At some point you'll get a 60 year-old talking a 75 year-old into going
into the shop & buying fags for them.

They'll have got all the talking into it done 45 years earlier.

By then, it wouldn't be worth many shops' while to stock them, there'd be a
revival of status for the 80yos who Know Someone.

Unless they decide it'd be simpler to smoke their (legally bought) weed
neat, of course.

It'll probably start a black market* in imported cigarettes.

*Are we allowed to say 'black market' any more?

Nah, it'll be a re-run of the Opium Wars, China sending gunboats up the
Thames to flog their wares in defiance of the shambolic corrupt Notional
Government.
