Rejected petition Stop funding addiction. Grocery/energy credit instead of cash benefits.

More details

Many long term benefit claimants use tax payers money to fund their drug/alcohol/smoking habits. Why should this be the case? It is unfair for people who work to indulge the people who don't in this way. The government and business could come up with a scheme where this tax money is spent responsibly and does not go into the hands of drug dealers or fund other addictions.
