Ban the production, sale and use of alcohol and tobacco

Petition Details

Substantial scientific evidence shows that tobacco and alcohol are harmful substances that can damage human health.

Using the same logic that the government has towards cannabis, it seems absurd that these 2 substances are legally sold nationwide. This is Hypocrisy and Bigotry at it's finest.

Additional Information

In 2013 there were 8,416 alcohol-related deaths registered in the UK, an age standardised rate of 14.0 deaths per 100,000 population. A small increase of 49 deaths compared to 2012 did not change the overall rate. - ons.gov.uk

Approx 100,000 deaths a year in the UK caused by smoking tobacco. - ash.org.uk

These are still legal despite the research and despite the statistics. It seems the government only seems to have a certain view when it suits them.
