I can see this helping people who want to give up but it's ridiculous. I'm not a smoker but being forced to get a license is...I don't even have words for it. It's retarded.

Doesn't sound too well thought out to me.
Smokers do disproportionately use more health resources than other people but then they pay more tax through smoking in the first place.
This scheme is fucking pointless !

Did it a year ago, ordered 400, got a delivery of 120, the rest were seized by customs, & I got a snotty letter from HMRC!

WTF??? Why would you even bother getting one? They gonna ID random people now to see if they have a license to smoke?
And £10??? Is that gonna cover the admin costs and actual cost of such a license nowadays??? And the cost to police it??? Hell no! A provisional drving license is £40+ innit now?
The daft bastards
Wishing it was like the old days again

This passive-agressive bullshit really grinds my nuts.
F*cking government wants to look out for our health by coming up with all these ingenious ways of helping us poor saps quit smoking (because will-power is hard to come by these days, apparently!) but then they have the nerve to raise the tax on cigarettes every damn year! If you don't want us to smoke, STOP SELLING CIGARETTES ASS-HOLES!!
Of course non of these ass-clowns would ever consider this direct approche, because, surprise surprise, they want to keep getting all the tax! Shit-heads will kill us all if there was a profit to made.
I'll stop smoking when they stop telling me to!
Man goes into cage. Cage goes in the salsa. Sharks in the salsa. Our shark!

Not forgetting the massive unrest it would cause. Outright banning would result in action. A move like this results in grumbling and general acceptance
