Rejected petition Ban Smoking

More details

Quite simply - human consumption of tobacco (in any shape for form) will ultimately kill you prematurely.

Education may help discourage people but the ban on smoking in public venues has been proven to have reduced the number of smokers in the UK population.

If you support that logic - banning the sale and therefore purchase of tobacco in the UK should ultimately reduce the number of smokers by a even greater number.

If the Government is serious about the UK nation's health, it would appear to be the only logical, practical and efficient means of eliminating this health threat.

However, the Government may be reluctant due to the loss of tax revenue and the human rights aspects.
