I gave up a couple of years back, just after my heart attack. However WTF is going on back in Blighty?

Now when I started smoking it was because of the cool logo and writing on a packet of five Park Drive. Obviously. Being a rather sophisticated fellow I soon moved on to the even more beguiling Players No 6. They were the bitch in heat of the graphic logo world.

Not content with imposing a blanket smoking ban, which has ruined the pubs and decimated the clubs, the UK government has decided that all cigarettes will from next year be sold in brown paper bags. Well nearly.

There's that word again; De-normalization.

There's so much wrong with this it's hard to see where to start.

Before I go off on a rant though, what do you guys think?
