No thank you, i dont need the nanny state looking after me in this instance. Though if they ever do, you can guarantee pro lobbyist of no tobacco use wont stub themselves out once they have achieved their aim, other legal substances will follow, Alcohol being next.

Because this suits you.  Yet you appear perfectly happy to have the 'nanny state' look after other plenty of things....

That's the trouble with the nanny state - they always want more control.

And yet man people appear to want to give them more control...

What has the EU to do with health care at all?
And what does EU mean, in this instance - what part of the EU does research, who authorises it, how much does it cost?

Apply that to everything and you are on the right track.

Tobacco companies couldn't lobby if there wasn't a state available to be lobbied. You are agreeing with me completely up to the point where you ignore the connection between state and corporation. Its totally legal to lobby the state, its enshrined in law and part of the democratic process. The state can no more ban lobbyists and their influence as it can prevent voters voting.

The more powerful the state, the more the involvement in everyday life, then the more influence lobbyists will have.

I dont confirm or deny I have ever smoked. For future data purchasing purposes.

I don't smoke and have never smoked.
