THOUSANDS of tobacconists from across Europe have marched on the European Union headquarters to protest against a planned EU crackdown on smoking that includes gruesome health warnings placarded on packets.
"Smoking is part of the culture of Europe,’ said the head of Austria’s VCPO tobacconists, Klaus W Fischer. ""This will end up like prohibition in the US in the 1920s."
Well that is the plan unless smoker’s take action!
Crack. Fizz. Gulp. Ahhhhhh. Is there a drinking experience more classically Australian than ripping the ring-pull off a beer? "The visceral pleasure from that first crack of a beer can is identical to popping a champagne cork," says wine and drinks writer Mike Bennie. "There's also huge appeal in the tinnie's nostalgia factor."
The Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill (‘Tobacco Bill’), which is open for comment until 9 August 2018, imposes draconian new rules and restrictions on the sale and use of tobacco products, and controversially places electronic delivery systems (e-cigarettes or “vapes”) under harsh regulation.
The Milwaukee Bucks will designate as non-smoking not only the new Fiserv Forum but also the entire 30-acre arena district. This ban includes e-cigarettes.
