It'll probably cost ?100 to produce each permit so an increase in tax will soon follow.

Now that is funny. This country really has gone down the oppressive route. It'll not be long before we are turned into a communist country and will not be able to do anything at all for fear of repercussion.

If they want to stop people smoking surely they should make it harder for them to start in the first place - how about increasing the age limit to 18 like booze & voting?

I'm all for it. And while we're at it, bring back the head tax. And window tax. And why not introduce a breathing permit at a reasonable price of around 10 quid a year to carry on breathing... *****s
