Just What The Doctor Ordered: Iceland Considers Prescription-Only Cigarettes

Iceland is considering a measure that could prove a real drag for smokers — prescription-only cigarettes. It is the latest effort to make smoking as unpleasant and inconvenient as possible.

We previously saw how the United States is now moving to grotesque pictures on cigarettes to harass smokers. Next we will require smokers to be beaten with large Salmon and stand in ice water while they smoke.

The parliament in Reykjavik may allow only pharmacies to dispense cigarettes — a valid medical certificate. What is the protocol for that diagnosis? Thorarinn Gudnason, president of the Icelandic Society of Cardiology, says that smokers will eventually be listed and treated as addicts.
