I doubt it too.

Lots more shops are covering them up now.

Next step; the government think that cigarettes in plain white packets will stop youngsters smoking! The fag companies think it will open the market up for bootleggers - as they won't have to copy the packaging accurately! I think the government are wrong on this!

Bring the smelling salts I've gone all feint and come over all funny,:eek::eek::eek: I actually agree with Birdy, I started smoking when I was 14 and believe me it wasn't the nice shiny packaging that attracted me to the habit, there wasn't much to admire about a paper bag containing a willie woodbine and two swan vestas:D

so if seeing fags and booze makes people want to smoke and drink does government think that seeing condoms on display will make people want sex or having axes on display in homebase make people want to murder people ?

Dogs are very bright, they offer loyalty even to those that don't deserve it.


Not because they are sucking up to you, just because of loyalty.

If they could talk they might tell us smoking is, well, a little bit silly.

They can't talk, so therefore they let us do what we want without criticism just so long as they have the security of being loved by the person looking after them.
If people were like dogs somehow life would be less vicious.

P.S. I'll never have another dog, I couldn't live up to it's standards.

I think that's a very good point.

Dear me Jay, have you had a humour bypass ? What I believe Max meant was that because you'd agreed with Kes-x (and being aware of his continued referal to drugs) you must agree with that also, but then knowing your aversion & vehement contra-arguments, it was, I perceive a stab at dry humour. (following so far ? :) Jolly good)

Then you retort with a derogatory comment, surely if you'd just given it a minute or two for the ol' grey cells to mull over M.t.C's character, response style & contributions thus far, you'd no doubt gather he'd meant his comment in jest. Oft times folk take things as read on here (as Marg P has frequently pointed out ..... sorry Ma) the inflection & nuances are not there to judge on a screen as would be the case face to face. ;)

Now kiss & make up & lets all go back to being happy Bunnies shall we ?

And to get back on topic, plain packets wont make an iota of difference to the hard core smoker or new starter, if anything it'll make it easier for dangerous imitations to flood the market. And as to the moronic minister Lansley (Con) who reckons fags have no place in UK, has he thought of the job losses & tax deficit such a stance would incur ? Probably not, typical politico all mouth & trousers with no substance, gawd, don't they make you want to puke ? :mad:
