        This is quite interesting at it will be the sanctimonious, holier than though, mung bean eating lefty virtue signallers, who live a clean lifestyle who will end up being the main cause of the problem they are complaining about as it will be those who live forever slowly fading away.

        Us right wing, red meat eating, beer drinking, tab smoking thugs will get to 70-75 then do the decent thing and die.

          Thats me that is My hotel room is a smokers room, there's a brewery over the road and next door is a steakhouse...plus you're still allowed to smoke in pubs in the state I live in
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              With cakes, biscuits, sauces and drinks you can make your own. Plus I doubt the regulations cover those selling one off products at places like coffee mornings, school fetes etc.
              Good luck to the government that opts to kill off the coffee mornings and force Great British Bakeoff from our screens. They'll be bigger enemies of the Daily Heil than brown people.
