@JuliaHB1 How do you know? -
Seriously
@JuliaHB1 - how could anyone tell if black-market sales changed, one way or the other? Sure, I was hand-waving, but so were you. -
@th3Derek I wasn't making any claim about the sales of cigarettes, I said the stats show a fall in the number of PEOPLE smoking. V different -
@JuliaHB1 Ok, noted. Could there be other factors, e.g. vaping? Got me off fags 2 years ago, and which govt now wants to tax (surprise!) -
@th3Derek those stats are from years before Vaping -
@JuliaHB1 Which stats? Link? Vaping has been around for quite a while. -
@th3Derek not on big scale til recently. Stats easily available - just google - 7 more replies
