Comment of solidarity and support while incremental smoking ban goes through parliament

We are all equally devastated for sure to be made aware that this catastrophic bill comprises of the prime minister’s choice and initiative and has entered parliament already going for its second reading. It may be the prime minister’s initiative but it is not the health minister’s participating in Rishi Sunak’s government initiative who follows suit once she does not object.

The incremental tobacco purchase ban violates most people’s rights as well as the national constitution and there are many complex reasons why it is unfair, undemocratic and does not confer justice to the citizen. Laws that do not confer justice to the citizen must not be passed through parliament from the government like it is done in dictatorships and authoritarian regimes, and must subsequently be challenged in courts by their victims in order to cancel their enforcement and their false punishment.

Think that this draft, as it should remain, will “make it an offence” to exchange money for and sell tobacco products to those born on or after 2009, although this is not an offence unless the tobacco is sold to those underaged. If this is not an offence according to anybody, then how will it “become” an offence based on a choice exerted by one single person, if no one is hurt and nothing gets damaged? It will continue not to be an offence according to everybody else, but it will start being punished by the state and the authorities on their own without a consequence caused or victim being returned, without an applied social rule to the law, without the consent of society and its members, based upon the selective choice of the prime minister and the legislator. Meaning that buying tobacco products is not guilty but innocent as long as you are not underage, and the punishment of the law should not under any circumstances be applied to innocence instead of only being directed against guilt.

Those in control of the law are demonstrating that they are irresponsible when making selective choices to punish innocent actions and activities and this has happened before with the rest of counter-smoking legislation and with COVID restrictions and the circulation of the Euro in the Schengen zone.

Laws are not to be dictated by the executive power of the state instead of defining themselves from society and following the laws of reason when writing the laws of man. Dictating the law is performed by dictators but here we have constitutional monarchy and the parliament and government should comply to the state constitution which has never allowed them to do what they have done.

Speaking of exchanging money with tobacco products and who should or should not be able to do so, adults born during and after 2009 will have earnt the money they have to exchange, so why will they not choose where it will be spent themselves?

The cause and effect of this legislation going through parliament is the topple of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss by the ministerial machine and state mechanism, after which a minority leader namely Rishi Sunak was asked to form a government and was appointed as its leader. It looks like this ministerial machine or state mechanism could not ensure the worst for us all while Boris Johnson would still have been in power until now and until the forthcoming general election in 2024, or while indeed Liz Truss would still be the prime minister, that they tried their best to topple both majority leaders. It also looks like this ministerial machine and state mechanism are expressors of the current minority government lead by Rishi Sunak, who lost from Liz Truss and is leading instead of her. It looks like a minority government was what is necessary for the worst to come out of it such as the incremental tobacco purchase ban. The majority disagrees as demonstrated by both polls that have been conducted, and punishing anybody for not being guilty is turning political power against those it is directed at who have elected those who possess it, apart from being strictly prohibited from politicians and the police they set under their control.
