As an x-smoker I have a little sympathy for the shop owner, lets face it, most of us enjoy a smoke of some sort once in a while, however, smoking puts a massive strain on out health care system and IMO should be outlawed, its borderline suicide (IMO- touchy subject).
Again IMO the government is a running business and will take any necessary steps to protects its own interests (or ours ).
I have recently seen the light and realize now that if im not satisfied with the way my country is running, I should pick a country who does things better and migrate.

Just my two cents...

epd...I would have no problem whatsoever if our government outlawed tobacco products. I think it would be a good thing, but will probably never happen as its too big an industry.

Having said that, as long as a businessman is selling a legal product and the government is collecting taxes from him he deserves to be treated fairly.

As far as migrating because we don't like something...I'll give you my $0.02 worth. Its every bit as much my country as theirs. I'd rather stay and fight than let beurocratic bullies chase me away.
