SUPPLYING TOBACCO
Sirs,
Tom Morton says "no law will make a smoker stop" (16 September). Quite
right, and nor have laws stopped people using cannabis, ecstasy or heroin.
He also admits that he would willingly supply nicotine addicts if tobacco
is banned. As nicotine is far more dangerous than the currently illegal
drugs, this would place him at a level comparable to heroin traffickers in
the law's eye and entitle him to a long stay at Her Majesty's pleasure.
He should stop giving the Government ideas - they have enough stupid ones
as it is.
