Using the EU to ban tobacco

Oh dear, a Belgian judge is trying to use the EU to ban tobacco across the whole of the EU. I'm sure our political elites will shed no tears over this latest exercise in using the EU as democracy by-pass mechanism, they have been moving towards banning tobacco for years. I'm equally sure that criminal gangs will be over joyed should it actually work as they are handed a huge market of people that still want to smoke and can no longer get hold of their drug of choice legally. The people that should be worried about this is everybody else.
