Stop doing this.


I agree. I honestly don't care if someone is fine with treating their body like a trash can. I just don't want to be financially responsible for it.

Nope. Governments do not foot the bill for anything. The taxpayers they represent do.

Therefore, I am not ok with the British government imposing its will and restricting freedom like this. This is very unethical and disturbing, and (thanks to Democrats)it’s probably soon coming to a country near you.

Assuming they tax them like the US does it would seem the $6-7 dollars per pack should go towards healthcare.

I'm willing to bet it does not.

If you think about it, we were all pretty stupid to consider UK as some fellow beacon of freedom, democracy, whatever, considering being subject to a crown is so inbred in them.
