Roger Ram Posted Tuesday at 06:28 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:28 PM “Mr Cannan said he wonders if the Isle of Man should wait until the UK has implemented it first:” This place is doomed. This is the exact opposite of what we should be doing in so many areas. Pathetic 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Ram Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Can we at least ban it in public places then. Its disgusting. If people want to do it on their own homes let them crack on, but double the tax and ban it everywhere else. link below shows what other places are doing. https://www.livemint.com/news/as-new-zealand-reverses-its-smoking-ban-other-countries-push-ahead/amp-11701368995195.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted Tuesday at 07:08 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:08 PM I can't see it happening. It will criminalise 10% of the population within 15 years, not just tobacco smokers, but those doing cannabis etc. And it will create a massive black market. ...then add all the confusion at e.g. TT when people from different countries arrive. Kick it into touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won’t be confusion. Most other countries will implement something similar over the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proposed UK legislation was inspired by NZ legislation - which is now being revoked. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nether of those things have as big an impact on other people as smoking in public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess each has their own least favoured activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
