It does work though. Here in Australia you still see people smoke here and there, but you notice the difference when travelling around the world.
Went to Paris and Rome in December and it was really annoying having to deal with smokers and vapers seemingly everywhere.
Yeah attack the country churning out military drones by the thousands. Of course they’re going to deplete air defences.
They’re saying Russia should stop killing Ukrainians. Nothing about this attack.
Yeah was wondering the same here from Australia.
Back when my daughter was born, not only did we not pay anything, the government gave us a $5000 “baby bonus”
I’m surprised Japan doesn’t have more “please have children” incentives with their declining demographics.
They don’t even play baseball.
Only if Russia does it first. Thought so.
It’s an old fashioned strategy that still works.
Trump said in the Oval Office before the private meeting that other countries, like Indonesia, might take Palestinians in. “There’s a lot of countries with big hearts, and this gentleman is at the top of the list,” he said pointing at Abdullah, not knowing what he was about to hear.
How about America take them in? Oh that’s right… Heartless.
That’s rough buddy.
You still have the freedom to not vote. However you have to go to a polling station and get your name marked off but no-one can force you to write on the piece of paper.
Can Biden just say fuck it and declare a national holiday? Would that help at all? What about making voting mandatory like we have in Australia? You get a small fine if you don’t vote which is usually enough incentive.
It’s not nearly as massive as the “legit” tobacco industry. If it was that big an issue, people would be smoking everywhere. And as I mentioned it’s obvious how much more people are smoking in Europe compared to here.
So the point stands, that in absolute terms, smoking is way down. Your average person doesn’t want to buy cigarettes from their local drug dealer.
