Rejected petition Stop Increasing cigarette prices
Stop increasing cigarette prices.
More details
As an adult you have the right to smoke if you want and it is getting out of hand that cigarette prices are increasing so much all the time and you are taking away peoples right and free will to do what they want as adults.
You hear all this 'We are increasing prices to give people a choice to quit' but you are taking away smokers choice to smoke if they want to by trying to out price them so they can no longer afford to smoke.
Remember as a adult it is our body our life and our choice
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about the cost of cigarettes, but we're not sure if you want the Government to commit to not increasing taxes on cigarettes in the future, or to reduce or abolish existing taxes on cigarettes.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
