the report does go on to mention smoking is a £9.3bn revenue generator although in my view a complete ban to add it to the illegal substances list as suggested would be something i would completely back as it kills many people in the uk who dont even smoke but the loss of revenue may make the government think twice about a ban
Should be brought in ASAP as far as I'm concerned.
