Tobacco petition

I wonder how many of your readers agree it’s right that a highly addictive product like tobacco is sold in packaging  designed to entice and beguile.

Or that a legal product – which, uniquely, eventually kills half the people who use it as intended – is allowed to be wrapped up to make it appear like a lipstick case, making it  appealing to young people.

Or that an industry is allowed to use methods such as this in a nefarious attempt to recruit the 13,000 people in Scotland each year it needs to replace those who die as a result of smoking.
