As has allready been said on this thread, i dont think the government can really do anything more to dissuade people who allready smoke to stop- people aren't going to react happily to having quiting forced on them dictatorship style. I guess the warnings on the packets are a good idea, especially if you've just started, but tbh i don't think they're really all that effective.
I know that having to buy something from under the counter might put me off slightly if i was buying fags for the first time- but thats only because i'm an honest girly
. I guess it makes them look more 'scary'. But its also annoying me how the government are getting so obsessive about it- yes, it costs the NHS loads but havnt they got other things to worry about aswell?
The government wont stop me smoking, it will be my decision to quit.
