Petition Bring back the 10-packs cigarettes, 20-packs cause more smoking
I used to smoke less because I would carry maximum 10 cigarettes at a time, now it’s 20 units and I smoke more and more, it affects my health badly, I spoke to many friends and family too, everyone says it’s been worse than before. Please bring back the 10 packs. Buy less, keep less and SMOKE LESS.
More details
In theory we all believed that 20 packs minimum would help, but in reality and practice I’m %100 sure that 20 packs do not help. Please help smokers. There are millions people affected really badly. I believe the government wanted to stop young people starting smoking, but I don’t think this(20-packs) helps the situation either, ask any 10 teenagers you’ll see 9 of them are smokers. If they cannot afford to buy 20s(over £10) they may become violent,perhaps thats why the crime rates are crazy now
