You have to listen to them all the time, and I could make a case for Camilla over Diana there.
If you're the damn King of England, you don't have to listen to much of anything you don't want to. To each their own, I guess, but Diana was a pretty hot piece, Camilla is a house frau at best.

Great! Let's have competing gangs murder each other over bootleg cigarettes. Sounds like a solid plan.

It was a vicious cycle, for two hundred years. America's tobacco, cotton and sugar cane, produced through slave labor, were exported to Britain, who then exported rum, cigars and clothing to Africa, who then exported slaves to America.
Tobacco is the root of all evil, both health wise and socially.

You’re saw this with the soda tax, but controlling sugar intake would be a logically connected push.
People are cutting their own throats by supporting these rules. It won’t end. There’s no point where they’ll stop restricting your freedoms. And they will be expanded to things you like or care about.

If politicians ban smoking in America what will they tax to make up for the loss of tobacco taxes.
Alcohol. They will make it so expensive to purchase, that it will be Prohibition 2.0, and it will be a success this time.

Unfortunately slavery played a historic significant role in most civilizations.

Tobacco is way too easy to grow in the US.
A ban would simply lead to a black market and crime, just like alcohol during prohibition

So was the cotton industry, should we ban clothes as well?

I love to smoke while deer hunting, in the duck blind, or out fishing. I dunno why but it’s the only time I really enjoy a cigarette

It’s amazing how the left suddenly sounds like evangelical conservatives from the 80s

I am speaking purely to outcomes, not the merits of either one.
I don't like prohibition and think the world was a better place when everyone smoked.

His wife Camilla is a chain smoker or at least was until very recently

Tobacco built a lot of schools, hospitals, highways, and government buildings. Tobacco also sent multiple generations of kids to college, not to mention the economic boost to those communities in the tobacco belt.

So they would allow older folks to continue to smoke but younger ones can’t? Seems illegal, next they gonna ban black people from smoking?

Hold on a second. I thought it was "my body, my choice." Y'all need to make up your freaking minds. Liberal democrats are all good with designated places for people to shoot up heroin but God forbid somebody chooses to smoke a cigarette.
