Where are our law given rights to make our own decisions? When I want to smoke then this is my decision and not the say of father government. I will still smoke, and I give no rats ass about that it is banned. This decision is simply made from people who don't smoke

FFS you mothers 😡I will be rolling a Dik Zol and smoking myself, who needs cigarettes 😂

Time for a general election...

PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa GovernmentZA so let me get this right, you lose R1Bil so far on sin tax, you cannot make your minds up about what is allowed and not allowed, you spend ridiculous amounts of money on Cuban doctors, you cannot even decide on schools. Disgusted

If Stella get a BMW for breaking the lock-down law, let us all support illegal CIGARETTE TRADE we will all get BMW !! F*&^ the African National Covid 19 Looters

Cigarettes. Say one thing one day and the opposite the next. 2000 objections and 11m smokers. The illicit tobaccot trade must be rubbing their hands in glee.

Stalinism prevails as government continues to infantilize the nation. Dangerous times.
