If they could, they would but I think that's proving unworkable.

The favoured strategy is to legislate them out of existence by making them hideously expensive and unappealing. This involves making them conform to standards designed for medicines, rather than the same standards applied to tobacco and alcohol. Standards that those two couldn't possibly achieve BTW.

They are more concerned about the loss of revenue to HMG and the loss of profits to tobacco and pharmaceutical companies, than the deaths caused by smoking.

It really is quite cynical, and it's sad that people like Jimbo find it amusing.

And customs will start seizing their stuff. I know they won't get it all, but it's going to affect the price and supply.
Not a problem to me, I'll just order more frequently,from several different suppliers and wear any losses.
It will still be a lot less than the price of fags :D

These will suffer most. :sad:
It's difficult to run a business when most of your merchandise is banned. :shock:

It's one of the nicer epidemics.

These things should be applauded, but idiots who know nothing are slagging them off.
