It merely gave criminal overlords a 'legitimate' means by which to launder money from other dodgy enterprises. The best way to deal with crime is to crush it, not legalise it - as is all too often the case these days. But hark at me - on my soapbox again. No wonder people prefer Stan's.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-80218431745123630602014-03-17T22:53:36.689+00:002014-03-17T22:53:36.689+00:00Kid, the problem with prohibition is that it was a...Kid, the problem with prohibition is that it was a massive boost for organized crime - as is the banning of drugs now. I do drink myself ( in moderation) but I think alcohol is a far bigger menace to society than smoking but it's smokers that get demonised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-15975919106214401432014-03-17T22:05:57.679+00:002014-03-17T22:05:57.679+00:00It's certainly worth a 'packet', JP.

I've never smoked a cigarette in my life but it's so hypocritical to attack smokers all the time. Only this morning I saw a discarded packet of ciggies that said on the front: "smoking harms you and others around you" - WELL SO DOES ALCOHOL !!! Why aren't bottles of booze required to carry health warnings too ? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
