I genuinely cannot believe that a group of public servants approved this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-26480334
I once won an award for an anti smoking campaign at school. Ok, I only coloured in the posters but I stayed inside the lines
I did think that Mick but it sounds completely insane. And, of course, when one of them gets Cancer in 25 years time see if you can guess who they'll sue!
I dunno, they work around these kids all the time so I'd like to think they have learned how to deal with them. We used to sit in my mate's house and smoke dope when we were about 15, and his mum used to bring us munchies - the logic she put forward was that she'd rather it was in her house than us running about the streets. She was right too, if we weren't doing it there we'd have just been doing it somewhere else less comfortable.
My brother used the same logic as regards alcohol for his son. Net result is that he grew up not caring about it. Once the taboo was removed it lost it's appeal to him.
I don't see the problem with it. Let's get real kids of 14 and 16 smoke. If you ban something it will just make it more attractive and they will still do it anyway. At least this shows a more open approach rather than blanketing it in nanny state propaganda. As always I'm sure the conformists like MP Jackson and the anti smoking group will get their own way in an attempt to clone behaviour.
It's how the froggy ****s and the tally do it ... let kids have some wine with dinner and then it becomes a nothing experience...
In the early days, before we got parental approval, we used to form a wee tent in an alleyway with our coats to stop the skin getting wet, someone would be holding the skin while someone else burned in, and we'd all be shouting at the skin holder as he would be shaking like a ****er because it was about -5c and he'd no coat on. We'd be using matches because by the time we all chucked in our lunch money and paid for the 10 deal and skins there was no money for a lighter - so you'd go through about 5 matches per joint with the wind constantly blowing the ****ers out. They were better, simpler times.
