Re: Banning smoking - does it make sense?

I rode past an old school priest near a Catholic University yesterday. Full cassock, with hat, beads and furiously dragging on a ciggie. Tough teaching gig perhaps. It seemed very incongruous to me.

Re: Banning smoking - does it make sense?

Smoking age limit is 18 in the UK All advertising is banned in the UK. All packaging must be plain in the UK. I’m all for banning the thing all together. However the idea that something legal can only be sold to an adult age cohort that’s arbitrary is clearly ludicrous. It’s probably an excuse here...

2024 Barrett the younger doesn't look anything like the 2023 version...well as far as performance for the Hurricanes goes. I think he has reached a certain status with the ABs where he doesn’t have to worry about busting a gut in super rugby! Time to move the lad on then. TJ wouldn't be so blasé.
