[EternalOptimist]

I think we are proposing the same thing!

[Pondlife]

The year is 2037.

Customer: A packet of 20 smokes please

Shopkeeper: Certainly Sir that will be £29,995.65 Have you got some ID Sir

Customer: I've got my pension book

Shopkeeper: Sorry Sir, You have to be 67 to buy smokes these days.

You'd have old tramps standing outside shops offering to buy smokes for those young whipper snap 50 something’s.

Who do you reckon will be getting a state pension aged < 67 in 2037?

Not bloody likely.

And then 1 day smoking will be illegal. sorted...

[BrilloPad]

Are you trying to be funny, or is that a serious suggestion?

If the latter, you're being as idiotic as Dim Prawnerolo.

It is a proposal for debate. Is it not possible to float ideas here? Or is everything just subjected to ritual abuse?

I often think sasguru's view of the cuk forum is quite correct.

[BrilloPad]

Surely that wouldnt work, because the smoker will also age a year, once a year.

A better idea would be to raise the minimum age allowed to buy ciggies by a year, every year.

[EternalOptimist]

Easier than skunk... so I understand.

Growing your own tobacco was quite popular in the 50s, but apparently it tastes absolutely horrid.

Its true. Tobacco is very unpalatable. The only way it can be smoked if if the natives spit on the leaves whilst they are shredding them. The strands are then rolled between the firm pert perspiring breasts of young nubiles, to form the perfect woodbine. Damn fine people those redskins.

[PRC1964]

Just a thought, how hard is tobacco to grow?

I sense a new plan B.

Smoke PRC's they're tax free !

Excerpt from bbc News HYS:

>
Shopkeeper - "Can I help you Sir?"

Customer - "Well, I was going to take up smoking but I've just noticed that the brand I wanted to smoke, which used to be in a blue packet is now in a plain white packet with standard lettering so I've suddenly decided I will lead a healthy lifestyle instead. And I'll vote Labour from now on too, in grateful thanks"

Shopkeeper - "Good for you, Sir!"

I think taht the theory about plain packets is that companies won't be able to get around advertising rules by sponsoring events using their corporate colours.


Seems reasonable to me.

Shame on you, mentioning that woman's name. Wash your mouth (or your keyboard) out with soap and water!

I cut and pasted this so I will now go and deliver appropriate punishment to the mouse responsible.

I suggest that the age at which cigarettes can be purchased rises a year every year.
