TRAGO MILLS KNOWS BEST FOR YOUR KIDS...






Trago Mills and the great example they like to set our children and teens...

Trago Mills what are you thinking, advertising the open use of drugs to our young folk, with the rest of the country and most of the world in agreement that the advertising of Tobacco products is extremely immoral and most dangerous when viewed by our children, here we can see Trago Mills in Newton Abbot proudly carrying adverts for smoking drugs.



Do they think that they know better than then the Medical Profession or just plain common sense, I mean come on is this really what my children have to be exposed to when queuing for the Steam Train which should be a healthy pursuit for all the family, thanks for trying to corrupt my children and encourage them to take up drugs.
Perhaps the owner of Trago Mills could explain to my teenage children what message they are sending to them with adverts like " Smoke Blue Bell Tobacco Cool and Mellow " and " Smoke Players Navy Cut Tobacco and Cigarettes " because I am baffled and shocked to see such a thing as this, are they saying that taking drugs are ok and good for you.



With all the dangers of smoking well documented and it is well known that this is a highly addictive drug, why then are Trago Mills advertising the use of such drugs where children can and do see the adverts, when they come to me and say "Dad, Trago Mills says its ok to take drugs" what should I tell them, perhaps I should tell them the truth that Trago Mills does not care about you and is wrong to advertise drugs openly around children and I am sorry that they were exposed to such filth and promise them that we will never go to such a place again, the sort of place that endorses the use of drugs openly and proudly on its hoardings.

It does not matter how you want to say it or dress it up but Nicotine is a drug, a very dangerous drug, more addictive then Heroin or Crack Cocaine and certainly more deadly than any other drug out there, if you smoke Tobacco you are a drug user and a drug addict, if you sell Tobacco you are a drug dealer and a purveyor of death.
There is no way of denying this and lying to your self makes no difference to the facts, just because something may once have been socially acceptable does not make it right or safe, if you smoke Tobacco you will die from drug addiction the same as any other addict out there, you are no better than them, you just have more friends to do your drugs with and the police won’t arrest you for doing your drugs in public unless you do it indoors in a public space, I say extend that to outside everywhere and make Tobacco a controlled substance and illegal to posses and to sell to anyone.

If you are a vendor of Tobacco you are nothing more than a filthy drug dealer and you should be well ashamed of your self, you are the ones plying this evil filthy trade and ultimately the suppliers of this drug to our children, I personally would never shop at any shop that sells Tobacco and would actively encourage people to boycott such shops that sell this evil drug to people.

Now I hear you say "oh but what about freedom to do as we choose" and to that I say " hey if the other junkies like you cant take Heroin or Coke legally why should you be allowed to take a drug that is equally as dangerous without penalty " after all fair is fair, anyone who smokes Tobacco is an idiot and as such I would not expect any intelligent input from an idiot who takes a substance that makes them weak, smelly and eventually will kill them, also as a tax payer I resent any treatment they receive for smoking related illness, that money could be used for worthy cases, not cases of self inflicted injury. There are better ways to kill your self and I would encourage any smoker to find a quicker method that won’t ultimately cost the rest of us a small fortune to treat.

So will the owner of Trago Mills please explain why they think advertising the use of drugs at Newton Abbot is ok and what their policy on drug taking is because as you can see in my pictures they seem to think its fine for your kids to see adverts for the most dangerous drug in the world... Tobacco.

This is disgusting and I like you will never go to such a place ever again, how can they get away with advertising drugs to children and teens, well done for exposing such a nasty thing, shame on Trago Mills.
I will return to you blog to see if the owner has the decency to explain to your kids what message they are trying to send to them...

I was there last month and saw the adverts for Tobacco products, I thought it was illegal to have such adverts up and grossly negligent to have them where children can see them. I do not think I will shop there anymore, well done for this exposer, the owner must be a right git...

As some one has already stated this is disgusting, I used to travel up from Honiton to shop at Trago Mills but after reading your article I do not think I will be shopping there again, what kind of sick person lets kids see such adverts for such things. You would think that people would be more responcible about what children can see when playing...

I can not believe this is for real, can they legally do that, I thought all tobacco advertising was banned, and to allow it where children are present is shocking to say the least, they should be ashamed of themselves.
