Why was Wills cigarette production stopped?
353433
In England there is a Wills cigarette company that has been in existence for over on hundred years. Their main brand is 'Wills' Woodbines' and the also make 'Park Drive' cigarettes. Both these cigarettes have lost popularity as they do not have filter tips and since the introduction of filters in the UK in the 1960's sales have fallen. However they are still popular brands with older smokers and they are cheaper than most others. Naturally Wills need to protect their trading name hence their assertion of copyright laws. If the Pakistan Tobacco Company had persisted they would have had great problems in selling their products overseas due to the slice of the market that Wills already have and would have been subject to legal action.

money it's all about the money if we can make it so the tobacco industry makes no money then we can put the cabosh on tobacco.  However it is such a cash cow for the government they will not.

IT is Honus Wagner....a little over a million, only because it was made without his permission, by a tobacco company and he didn't smoke or chew..hence the value of the card because only a few were ever made.

Because the government gets a cut of the money from the tobacco industry!!!  Not only that but it's the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S.... Without people killing ourselves off the country would be over-populated!!!!  How sad huh???

What customs in both Ireland and the UK is trying to do is to stop smuggling. They will have fixed an arbitrary amount of cigarettes on the assumption that only that amount could be for your personal consumption, any more and you must be selling them. I believe there was something recently in the European Court regarding drinks, which is similar.

it gradually destroys your will power .\nbad mouth odor and clothes smell .\nit is wasted money for individuals and communities.\nit makes progression to more serious dependencies easier.\nthe agricultural impact , the lands used for growing tobacco could be used to grow organic food making it more available and cheaper.\n\nrisk of accidental fires would be less if no-one smoked.

1954. Wayne McLaren was the last one.\n\nI met him at the same party where I met Bill Clinton in Little Rock, Arkansas. The man was shriveled, had lost a lung and told me the others had died of lung cancer. (Evidently there were a number of them, not just him.) He was very sick at the time, poor man.\n\nHe told me that they used to give them huge quantities of the cigarette free.

No I haven't but I thought I would tell you how I finally managed to quit smoking.  I smoked for 14 years very heavily and I tried everything to  stop, I didn't even manage to stop when I was pregnant and now I really wish I had had the will power.  After several years of trying to stop and failing miserably, I took Zyban and I have now been a non-smoker for over two years and have never dreamed of starting again.  It is available through your GP.  Good luck in your quest to quit - I know how tough it can be, so perservere and you'll manage it.\n\nBest wishes,\n\nLucy

Lets say there is more smokers then non smokers, or the manufactures wouldn't be in business as long as they have been, looks like they are still going strong. New brands are coming out seems like everyday.

"herb" was originally outlawed because of heavy pressure by cotton farmers, who were threatened by the cheapness of growing hemp for fiber.  They were scared it would put them out of business.  Alcohol & tobacco remain legal largely because they "were inb the right place at the right time", though of course they are no better for you than any other drug, legal or not.

It's gone.  The emergence of AIDS killed the brand's popularity and it was taken off the market.

I see no reason not to be able to open casinos, since the govnerment squandered the 50 billion dollars due the Native American population since they were all put on reservations. However, in my opinion of a smoker for 50 years, all tobacco and tobacco products should be banned from this country and be called an illegal drug. Tobacco has caused the deaths of more people in this and other countries than all of the so-called illegal drugs in the world combined. More power to you on the Casino thing though, you have my vote!

Cause Gambling Doesn't effect the general health of the nation, Smoking is a disgusting habit and fools that cant hold a few pints are a drain on A&E Departments..I live in Ireland and the smoking ban is the best thing to hit this country in years, To be able to go out and enjoy my few pints and come home NOT smelling of smoke is a dream come true..............And yea i do like a flutter here and there, took a few quid from the bookies this morning if Scolari takes the job....
