Reminded me that I apparently once painted the TV with nail varnish.

I live 40 miles from work. They don’t have showers are you suggesting I cycle 40 miles in the British rain?

Pretty based of you to admit.

dependencyinjection, 9 months ago to lemmyshitpost in Yeah, yeah, yeah...

As a former very poor person and now just regular poor person who used to smoke ikr.

That said, smoking never made me a happier person and at some point we have to do something. Smoking related issues cost the NHS an absolute fortune.

Do I think that corporations and billionaires should pay their fair share so us peasants don’t need to pay at all. Sure do.

Do I think that’ll ever happen. Heck no.

So given that, then we need to do something.

You shouldn’t make assumptions about people!!

It’s almost like you intentionally ignored…

Yeah I did, because I didn’t know I was expected to read every other interaction you’ve had in this thread before I could comment.

Obviously I’m not supposed to do that!!

Mozart slaps. I prefer Beethoven and Chopin, but Mozart got some skills.

It just I notice those other names a heck of a lot.

correlation isn’t causation. Do you think these are magic words or something.

Actual quote

I’m uncertain…

So no I don’t believe they’re magic words and I find your quote disingenuous.

Have a nice day and we can end this here. No hard feelings.

Unless I’m mistaken but correlation isn’t causation. Meaning that an increase in tax revenue from cigarettes around the time some new subs were ordered doesn’t mean that one is paying for the other.

Is it unreasonable to make the assumption that the extra tax revenue in fact goes into public health to combat the effects of smoking on an aging population?

smoking for those abive 15 has dropped from 24% in 1991 to around 11% in 2019

although i will concede that this tax disproportionately impacts lower income people
