One for Our Control-Freak Friend in the Antipodes, Jacinda Ardern…

…making it illegal for people born after a certain year not to be able to buy cigarettes is not only dictatorial, it will also prove to be counter-productive and ineffective. Those young people will simply procure their cigarettes from abroad. A stupid, badly-thought-out policy by a myopic, left-wing government. It is to be hoped that this policy will fail. Encouraging people not to smoke is one thing; legislating against them doing so is quite something else – something far, far more sinister. – © Mark Alexander
