Not just cigs, booze too. No sale or transport of either allowed.
With booze, at least people had a two day warning and could try to stock up. The ciggy ban came out of nowhere as we went into lockdown.
It's obviously resulted in a ton of black market activity.
We go from 'level 5' to 4 next Friday. A few more industries allowed to resume operations, ciggys back on sale, and certain outdoor exercising allowed with restrictions.
What was the rationale behind banning them?
It's only temporary. And some poor bastard has to go out to the plantation and harvest the cocoa for your chocolate or your stupid espresso that you have with your ciggie. They might die for their trouble, and if they don't then they are gaining an unfair competitive advantage over the rest of the economy who can't work.
That could be down to the pre-existing employment situation there. You want the dying french people to carry on making wine for you because you're safe from dying yourself?
What if you’re gluten intolerant vegan?
I think the initial reports of smokers being more likely to be badly affected played a part in their considerations, though they probably wouldn't admit that.
I suppose to limit as much movement as possible. Being able to buy smokes while getting groceries sounds like it wouldn't be an issue, but it would mean another large supply chain operating.
They've lost billions on tax revenue with this decision and there are now a ton more people who know how to get their hands on illegal goods and cheap ciggies.
The tobacco and liquor industries are obviously taking the government to court over this.
On the one hand, it seems silly and draconian, but the number of people going to hospital every day for alcohol related injuries has dropped massively. Along with the huge reduction in road accidents, these regulations have given hospitals a lot of time and space to prepare for the inevitable. Hopefully it's been used well.
As of now, the spread and mortality rate (only as far as we know from limited testing) is much lower than any of the predictions. In a couple of weeks we should see a spike.

Then you have chosen death.
It was even madder in the first month of lock down here. Supermarkets were not selling anything not considered 'essential goods'.
At a time when schools and unis are closed and the majority of the county asked to work from home, you couldn't get printer ink or paper, stationery, laptops or mobiles, DIY equipment... the list goes on depending on how your local store interpreted the rules.
But yeah, you could always buy a ton of chocolate.
Buying alcohol means I haven’t killed my kids. This leads to huge savings by not having a life sentence and being a drain on the U.K. purse.
I'm keeping their economy going so there'll be something for the suriviors to do when this is all over. I'm one of the real heroes.
I had to get a new laptop, it took two weeks for the fucking thing to get delivered. All the non-food shops have shut so everything has moved online, lots of retailers here are reporting two or three week backlogs. The poor fucker who delivered it was stressed out to the max.
Only food and medical deliveries allowed here. No hot food sales or takeaways allowed.
Bloody Nora, you guys really went into lockdown. Here restaurants were allowed to stay open as long as they delivered.
Not that I imagine this played a part in the formulation of the relevant policy but, if (and I accept it's a big "if", but not impossible in current circs) you moderate your intake, chocolate is not only not bad for you (dark chocolate especially), it also makes you feel fuller than the equivalent volume of numerous other foods. Luftwaffe pilots in WW2 were given it in their survival packs for that reason despite the fact that it was rarer than hen's teeth at the time.
You won't get the vaccine when it becomes available so you might as well die of starvation now.
That whole story might have been fake news to make our own pilots more resentful and determined to kill them.
I was in Tesco yesterday and the way they queue you up for the till in the aisle isn't on. I'd been dead good and filled my trolley full of only healthy stuff. By the time I got to the till I had two different dark rums, a litre of vod, some gin and a couple of bottles of red. Basically anything with one of them yellow stickers saying ONLY and like 3 quid off got bought. It's not us, it's them
Are you out of your god damned mind? Use the self-service checkout. The alternative is, you might as well go round taking a swabs from every customer that walks into the store that day, and sticking them into your eye.
