438:. I was going to say merge, but I can't find any obvious merge destination. There is nowhere obvious to put this in the Smoking article, and there are various things related to smoking in the UK dotted all over the place (e.g. Smoking ban, No Smoking day etc.). If no-one has time to properly rescue this article, this can temporarily be made into an index of all the other articles relevant to smoking in the UK. That would still be messy, but I can't think of an easier solution.

The article has to be judged on its own merits: what other articles exist is irrelevant. This article is completely unsourced, and, as the nomination says, reads more like an essay than an encyclopaedia article. It is debatable whether or not

I have no doubt that many reliable sources have given coverage to this subject. Have one section listing the laws, one listing its history, a section to show how it was once advertised, how common it was throughout history and why, etc.

usual suspects (namely non-notability, BLP concerns, and copyvio) are nowhere to be found. As for the article's prose or referencing, that is something to be addressed through regular editing, not deletion —
