Fad, I believe is the operative word here. The Government here seem to exist purely on fads and kneejerk reactions. Whether it is always media driven I dont know, but they certainly seem to like following the lead of a certain "Nannying" newspaper that we have here.

Banning packs of 10's is totally ridiculous as I know people who use that pack size in order to reduce the amount they smoke.

So what is it that they want people to do, fill the coffers of the Nicotine patch manufactures perhaps ?
