The oppressive Labour nanny state strikes again. Having already stolen our right to smoke indoors during their last premiership, deceitful Starmer and his party's authoritarian socialist agenda continues to attack the freedom of the British people. CurrentlyBeginning with tobacco, and soon to be alcohol, the UK's liberties are set to be slowly eroded under misleading pretencespretenses of health and safety.
Smoking is the leading preventable cause of illness and death across the world, often resulting in lung disease, lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, dementia, and diabetes while costing the UK economy billions of pounds in health and social care as well as lost productivity. As support in favor a smoke-free society continues to grow, now is the time for the UK to take further action.
There is a 50% chance that a country will completely ban civilian tobacco consumption/smoking by 2034, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
