Comment on FOREST’s fringe participation in the Reform UK Annual Conference in the Birmingham NEC

We are going to make it through the war on smokers and the abuse of citizens with the arbitrary punishment of the law which is unfounded and unconstitutional once they collapse with Reform UK. The most dreadful and most impactful anti-smoking restrictions according to the judgement of Nigel Farage will be reversed and most importantly nothing of the like will proceed anymore. The antismoking position that has been adopted by the state past the change of every government leaving it unchanged and unnegotiated will be dismantled and the position of a Reform UK government will represent the interest of the citizens and each individual person who does not want neither do they deserve to be punished with a fine without any cause. There will be no tobacco sales ban to those becoming adults after its enactment which will not hopefully take place or will be reversed by a future Reform UK government. It is very important for Reform UK to win the next general election and for every smoker to realise why this is important for our group.

There are so many counterproductive and disastrous anti-smoking policies and restrictions that are not regulations of any logic, reason and kind that are to be chosen to be reversed. You can either make tobacco affordable according to consumer rights or repeal plain packaging or do both? Can you repeal the tobacco display ban or plain packaging legislation both of which have the same identical effect? That you cannot see through the closet when there is nothing to be viewed and witnessed behind it? It depends on the logic possessed by those currently in power. And yes, it is a consumer right to exchange tobacco cigarettes with the cost of their actual value without subsidising the state with your chosen activities.
