Madam, – There is a kind of lunacy in the rush to ban certain drugs sold in headshops based on anecdotal evidence of their harm, while another vicious drug, to which a third of the population is addicted, is directly responsible for thousands of deaths a year and which costs the health services over €1 billion a year is still openly sold at every corner shop.
I write, of course, of the common cigarette. Any rational thought process can only lead to the conclusion that if our great Government is to ban headshop drugs, they most certainly should ban cigarettes. Then, finally, they could claim to have done the nation some service. – Yours, etc,
