thing is all of the quit smoking aids have had their prices forced up higher than the cigarettes themselves. nicorette spray was one of only two things that stopped me smoking. when cigarettes were bad and before the whole 'oh fuck no one is buying cigarettes any more and we are going broke' schtick started, nicorette was $25 for 2. now its $70 for three. 'equivalent to 100 puffs' no its equivalent to about 60 puffs and half of those are the chemical spray equivalent of a ruined orgasm where it just kind of dribbles out so you gotta go again, so even whats IN these fucking aids is far less than whats claimed.
vapes now flat out banned because 'aimed at children' - had a convo with a woman running the local bottle shop and shes whining about them, ive asked her where her vodka cruisers are, she points at a fridge, and im like 'ah yes, right where the kids can see them right?' 'oh oh um... no thats different um because um....' 'i dont give a fuck, im just making a point how retarded your argument is, theyll get em the same way they get the fucking lollywater shit you sell and theyll hand em over down there points at alley next to shop or there seat in front of shop like they fucking always have.'
'AFP find half a gram of heroin inside panelling in an aeroplane'
afp either cant find the containerloads of chinese cigarettes coming in that we are now buying at at value prices or they know exactly whats going on.
'hurr thtop thmoking' smokers literally pay for the hospitals in victoria especially. coffee drinkers dont. and they spend more downtime on their drug.
not even trying to defend smoking but simple fact is if its 'safe' enough to be a major tax revenue then forcing them two hundred metres away from their workplace on smoko is illegal discrimination.
tl;dr if someone wants to fucking kill them selves, then let them, and then you go after their estate if they hurt anyone else in the process. cunts are already making money off death, leave people the fuck alone to self solve an increasing problem.
