What angers me most, is that the government (EU or otherwise) think we're stupid. Theyre mantra for it is all about safety and all that rubbish but anyone with half a brain can see it's only for theyre profit, and to keep everyone smoking. Sure they play lip service to health organisations by putting picture on packets and hiding cigarettes behind closed shutters, but i doubt any of it stops kids taking up smoking and they know it. If anything it's probably more "ooh what are those things behind the secret shutters? Whatever it is must be badass!". The tobacco cash cow still has milk in it, and then suddenly, 'oh crap, everyone's starting vaping which we're only getting VAT from, better put a stop to this!'. This has turned into a bit of a rant, but I'm just so angry about it. I just feel more and more like we're living in a dictatorship. Frankie Boyle summed it up perfectly in a tweet during the junior doctors strike the other week when he said we're living under a government so right wing, doctors are being called dangerous radicals.
