On the way back from my new year's eve gig in Bury St Edmunds, I heard what I though was a great bit of news on the radio The government is to raise the legal minimum age at which tobacco can be bought in England and Wales from 16 to 18 years from October.

Together with the forthcoming smoking ban, this should have a substantial impact.

I think this is a good plan. Even if it only stops a few youngsters getting addicted to the weed before they have the sense to decide against it then it is a good idea. I think it may take a few years befire we see results though

 

PS Like the Myspace site though I had to mute my speakers!

Oops! Yes the mixing was a little ropey in places, and I guess there is an 18+ content - sorry!

Definitely a good idea. The reason most people take up smoking is peer pressure when they are young. I succumbed to it myself when I was 16. Fortunately I gave within a year or so before I got hooked.

 

PS Brian I like your MySpace mix but when are you going to get some REAL music on there. Me & Mrs DotNetWebs went to see Iron Maiden just before Christmas. AWESOME (mind you I did have to go to Scissor Sisters with her to get her to agree to come with me!!)
