Rejected petition Stop the persecution of smokers

More details

The persecution of smokers has gone far enough and we are calling for it to be stopped. Smoking is LEGAL in this country, but smokers have been turned into a persecuted minority. Now, we are going to even struggle to buy cigarettes because we're to be prevented from seeing the products 'to protect the children'. Stop persecuting us! We have a right to smoke, we pay MASSIVE taxes for the privilege, and the persecution has now gone too far. Please stop this!
