farangme Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Too much tax profit in it to ban things that kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freee!! Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Fascinating, I am in the EU and I haven't heard anything about banning rolling tobacco. I'll have to assume it is another thing the British government likes to falsely blame Brussels for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfc2007 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The UK is beyond a farce. I don't like smoking but to try and ban people from buying tobacco is absurd. The country is complete basketcase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menthol flavoured tobacco, if you actually read my post you will see were I said 'try and ban', because whilst they haven't banned tobacco, you can bet your arse this is the precursor.

I'll have to assume it is another thing the British government likes to falsely blame Brussels for. As above, it's only the flavoured stuff, not regular rolling tobacco. European Union Revised Tobacco Products Directive (2014/40/EU) will tell you more, but other governments are probably ignoring it, as they often do. It's only the Brits that think we've got to adopt all these new Directives. Edited May 4, 2020 by KWA 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper63 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Doesn't bother me one way or the other. Although I stopped smoking 43 years ago I still love the smell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Days later my mother made me actually inhale the smoke from the cigarette and again I puked, no more smokes for me ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
