You can not buy fags or smoke if you were born after 1 January 2009 in the UK if Sir Keir Starmer PP passes this legislation included in the King's speech today. same bollocks as his predecessor Rishi Sunak wanted.


"Labour smoking ban update as anyone born after this exact date affected
A proposal by the former Tory government to ban young people from ever purchasing tobacco products will be carried forward under the new Labour leadership.

A new Tobacco and Vapes Bill will be introduced in line with the Labour Party’s manifesto commitment to deliver a progressive smoking ban.

Proposed under former prime minister Rishi Sunak, the aim of the legislation is to prevent the next generation ever being able to legally purchase cigarettes.

Read out by King Charles at the State Opening of Parliament today, the bill will also cover other nicotine products often favoured by young people, including flavoured vapes and nicotine pouches.

In a major update to the progress of the legislation, it has been confirmed that the new restriction on the purchase of nicotine products will apply to children born on or after 1 January 2009."

It is ridiculous to take away personal freedoms and choice form people with a piece of legislation. We all know smoking is bad for us, the choice should be ours whether to smoke or not.

Heard cigs being called fags in some old British comedy, it made me laugh, do they still use that term for cigarettes.

Gotta be honest, its a pain in the ass for us Brits too because every time we go abroad, we have to learn to drive on the opposite side. No idea why we chose to drive on the left ???

ps. Yes we still do call cigarettes fags

A better question to ask how much of the price is taxes

Last time I checked, it was around £16.50 (appx $21.00) for a pack of 20 !!

Glad I switched to vaping but my guess is that, as people stop smoking they will start taxing vapes to make up for it

I suppose fag is not a slang word for gay over there otherwise it would be very offensive.
