  • Yeah, honestly I think it would make more sense to increase the age at which it's legal to sell to 25 (under the justification that supposedly that's when your brain has finished developing), and then allow it from there on to prevent it becoming a way to support illegal activity.

  • Whilst I agree with you in that I don't think this is an optimal approach, at the same time I'm curious as to whether this would create a significant black market for cigarettes.

    Anybody already addicted will continue to have access. Anyone not addicted has to overcome the barrier of acquiring it illicitly, which works in tandem with education about the harm it does.

    Considering how bulky cigarettes are compared to most other drugs, I wonder whether most dealers would carry around loads of cigarettes - particularly if they'd be at risk of being prosecuted for having them (which I don't think is the case here, though).

    However, it would probably increase the rate at which weed is cut with tobacco as it increases the addictiveness and ensures customer dependency for the dealers.

  • Me too, buddy. Me too.

    I read them alongside a friend and met up for coffee to discuss after; we devoured them as they came out and about ¾ of the way through the final book we both just said "What the fuck are we reading?"

    Stephanie Meyer knows how to make you turn pages.
