They're probably trying to say that cigarettes will simply be bought in non-EU states and brought in by others to sell. Which will definitely happen and is already happening. If anything an increase will only marginally effect the current underground market.

So they're just trying to fear monger a bit. They know current smokers will continue to buy and it. Doesn't matter if they buy it from a 3rd party seller or not. They made their money. What these companies fear is that high prices will discourage future smokers from starting

>if you health is bad there are special programs for that.

Hate that, work until you're 70 and too old to enjoy retirement. Or work until you're so sick you can't and then you don't get to enjoy retirement.

A system designed to ensure you work until your labor has no value. Squeezing for everything you're worth

Don't take the US out of the equation. We didn't have to be Israel's *removed*

So what Iran is just supposed to let Israel continue unprovoked attacks? Yeah that's a fucking stupid take.

Also the US was the invader during the Vietnam War so that's a bad example all around

I think you're forgetting differences in military capabilities.

Israel can be more selective in it's targets in Gaza, but they deliberately chose hospitals. Iran, the nation defending itself, has to send large missile barrages to try and break through the iron dome defense. Those will be less precise

I'd be fine if the apartheid government willingly dissolved and created a new system where the genocide of Palestinian people wasn't the goal. A government that didn't attack it's neighbors on a whim.

This could be bloodless, but unfortunately the state will not allow that

Apartheid governments don't get my sympathies. If the people wanted it to end I'd support the people

It's like feeling bad when Berlin was bombed.

Like yeah there are of course some innocents there, but the majority are involved in either the war machine or the genocide.

First let's settle one thing, Israel has no right to exist. I'm against assuming 100% of the populace is all for the genocide. The majority government and their supporters clearly are.

The apartheid state of Israel needs to end. The genocide needs to be stopped by any means, except a genocide in return.

The entire majority government and their supporters can hang.

I'm not going to condem the rest for a "thought" crime they didn't commit. Maybe they would have done the same thing, maybe not.

Blaming the government in power and those who put them in power for the actions taken by the government is totally reasonable.

You're suggesting well "what about a hypothetical government that doesn't exist huh?". That doesn't matter. They don't exist. Blame the government

I can critize and dislike the US involvement in Korea, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, AND the Tiananmen Square massacre.

I can rank which ones killed more people, but no one should be committing any crimes against humanity like these regardless of scale
