And then there were none?

And then there were none? - Kuensel Online

There's a thought that must make tobacco control people happy as all get out.

Once you take the hard line approach and make all people criminals you won't see signs of the behavior you so abhor.

Don't call it a tobacco act,call it what it really is prison-like behavior enforcement.

There are authorised officers who’ll be empowered by the act to go ahead and question anyone, even those inside homes,” he said.
Sonam Tshering said this was just the beginning, and many programs, like coordination meeting and inspection in drayangs and discotheques, were in the pipeline.
“It started off well and we got the impression people are aware and taking it seriously,” he said. “We’re hopeful this will work.”

And on that happy note

Police raid homes to stub out smoking habit

 Bhutan police can raid homes of smokers in a search for contraband tobacco and are training a special tobacco sniffer dog in a crackdown to honor a promise to become the world's first smoke-free nation.

The bad news just never ends.

Tobacco is a plant,not the cause of all the evil in the world.

I don't think I can rant anymore tonight,I just don't have it in me.
