On 6 May 2012, Tiriana Turia made a statement that tobacco kills people, which should be banned. I am a non-smoker and her statement prompts me to ask about other products which kill.
Ban the sale of motor vehicles, alcohol, forestry and other labour intensive occupations, childbirth etc. Let's not go overboard in regard to regulating what people should, or should not do.
Restrict smoking in environments which could adversely affect non-smokers by all means; but that should be the limit of the control of smokers. As for the latest suggestion of an exorbitant increase in the price of tobacco; is it realistic to apply this concept to motor vehicles etc as outlined above.

Ban politicians

It would be much better to ban POLITICIANS, then perhaps we could all mind our OWN business, instead of paying so much attention to minding other peoples business, and worrying what they are doing with their lives and property.
