Godber - an admirer of Hitler?

The Americans started whooping with joy when the figures  for cancer sufferers were released - but the celebrations were short lived as the truth dawned upon the anti tobacco mobsters. You see folks, yet again they rushed in to proclaim that smoking bans work, only to find that they were actually making no difference whatsoever apart from making people more miserable generally!

Cancer death rates in America (as in Britain) are slowing down, which of course is a cause for celebration, but cancer cases are rising steadily. Whereas man has found the means to delay the inevitable demise of his fellow man, cancer itself knows no such boundaries in this polluted world of ours. However, clever wording can hide a multitude of sins and we find that whilst the 'Big 4' (Lung cancer, Breast cancer,Prostate cancer, and Colorectal cancer) are now being thwarted by medical trickery or brilliance, little is being said about other cancers that are now becoming rife. For instance, head & neck cancers & oral cancers have increased 600% in the past decade and, amazingly, it's not all down to smoking! (ASH gnash teeth furiously)

You see folks, all that free lovin' & flower power, hippy lifestyle that was created decades ago is now showing us the cost of those happy-go-lucky times as:

" 64 percent of cancers of the oral cavity, head, and neck in the U.S. are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), which is commonly spread via oral sex."

 I doubt either Arnott or doormat hubby contracting in this fashion- can you envisage it? Note the numbers-64%-that only leaves 36% for smoking related or alcohol related causation. I don't hear ASH or CRUK trumpeting that measely figure about-do you? Not likely to be much funding available for a mere  (maximum) 36% and they do like to follow the money. Prevention is the money spinner, not the cure; in fact, the last thing they want is a cure as they'll all be out of business!  

We find, as we mentioned money, that our wonderful government is wasting yet another £2.7m on insulting everyone's intelligence by informing those who care to listen that every 15 cigarettes causes a cancerous mutation in our bodies Watch the video here and think about this. My dad 'learned' how to smoke in the army, when he was galloping around battlefields protecting this country from nazi indoctrinations (what a joke that's turned out to be!). I watched him smoke (not personally) 20-30 Senior Service everyday for 47 years, which equals two (2) brand new cancerous mutations per day - so how the bloody hell did he live so long and, more to the point, when he did die, why did he still look like my dad and not some unrecognisable, giant, mutated alien? Is it any wonder that one in three smokers believe health risks associated with their habit have been overplayed? But back to my fag smoking departed pa! Smoking let's say 30 fags per day = 2 new mutations every day. Therefore, by that logic, in 39 days there would be a cancerous mutation in each of his 78 bodily organs - so how the bloody hell did he survive so long only to die on the operating theatre table (having a tooth out would you believe?) through heart failure? (And NO, it wasn't cancer of the heart!). More to the point, he would have been riddled with cancer whilst charging about on army business so how the bloody hell did he manage to live to be 72? He used to love his Double Diamond-it must have worked absolute wonders on him! So we easily see that yet again the medical world has plucked a figure from the skies and by trumpeting at every opportunity will eventually claim it to be 'recognised fact'-even though it is actually sheer fantasy! And the sheeple will follow, sadly.

In the far away nation of mega anti tobacco lunatics, a non smoker is urging all 135 bar owners in St Louis County to write in and object to more smoking restrictions being levied by the local council wallahs. The town council say that 'they' want to introduce a level playing field but in actual fact there is already one in situ for those that choose not to allowsmokers can advertise 'smoke free' whilst those who wish to entertain smokers will continue to harvest profitable rewards! Choice-it's not rocket science really. Meanwhile, in Oregon, a new Bill has been proposed whereby cigarettes become available via prescription, how crazy is that? I can just see it now...." excuse me Doc, but I need some pain killers for me gout, oh and 5 packs of Camels please!" You really couldn't make it up !
Some people are finally fighting back thank goodness. Laughably, amid all this persecution of smokers, governments worldwide are suffering income loss as the 'merry men of the smuggling fraternity' continue to reap vast rewards from their entrepreneurialism. 

" Nearly 40% of the cigarettes sold in Rhode Island are illegally smuggled in..."

Oh diddley boo! No point making an obvious rod for one's back and then moaning about is there! But there's more.....

"At 39.8%, the report ranked Rhode Island fifth in the country for smuggling rates in 2011, behind only Washington, New Mexico, Arizona and New York, which tops the list at 60.9%. The Ocean State ranked first in smuggling in 2006."

 Wow. So New York, run by dictating supremo "Michaelus 'Nonsoda-r-us Bloombergus" has won the award for harvesting the biggest crop of smuggled tobacco-hilarious. This is the man that happily allows 40% of Bronx children to live well below the poverty line, watches firemen be 'cited' for feeding the hungry and the homeless after "Hurricane Sandy" hit the place yet happily donates $500,000 to such as Uruguay to fight tobacco law suits! The man is a complete nut job! Born February 14, 1942 I doubt that his objectors will have too long to wait before he is no more-I wonder if he'll choose cremation? The man (I use the term loosely) is the epitome of all that is wrong in this world today. He is termed a 'philanthropist' but I think that 'egomaniac' would be nearer the truth as he has been a Democrat, a Republican and now stands as an Independent-says it all really!
In St Joseph (Missouri) it appears that some of the good citizens have had enough of all these silly restrictions and have formed a coalition to fight against more persecution. Note in the comments that one idiot opposes smoking in bars - but doesn't even frequent bars. Now there lies the mindset of another nut job!
Closer to home the situation is beginning to look dire; but we did warn you 66 months ago of what would happen. Apparently, according to Irish logic, it is perfectly acceptable to stigmatise fat people as the war moves on to alcohol & obesity. Writing in the "Irish Health" rag, Daniel Callan of the Hastings Center (research facility) says 

"... a lot can be learned from the anti-smoking campaign. One of the main strategies used by these campaigners is to stigmatise smokers, emphasising that not only is smoking dangerous for your health, it is also socially unacceptable." 

We even find that there are now discussions going on about medical care not warranting the costs so we might yet have a panel of 'judges' deciding who lives and who dies-depending on costs of course. Hmm, didn't dear old Adolph decide who lived or died as he attempted to rid europe of anything remotely Jewish. The health freaks are showing all the signs of nazi doctrination-or don't you think?

 

 

 [What difference? Hitler/Godber-we will exterminate smoking, drinking & fat people! 

We will create the most perfect, medically cost free, race that is humanly possible]

So what IS acceptable then, the supreme Aryan race, the Ubermensch,  as proposed by my dad's old adversary-Adolph Hitler. So it seems we defeated nazi ideals only to allow them to spawn again under a different guise some 30 years later. Strangely enough both have arrived through the medical route, and both adhere to the ideal of persecution & suppression. Both involve what is quaintly termed as "social acceptability" and both lack any conscience. which does rather pose the question:
 Was Sir George Edward Godber a secret Nazi?

They simply can't back it up!

And so it all began in 1975, but where has it got to now? We now know that the smoking ban was brought in on the back of lies, fabrications, manipulated statistics & utter junk science-in fact I am surprised that Jamrozik's name and science still be held in the same sentence such was the estimated garbage he gave the world!

We have already seen where AGE UK have totally shirked the issue of loneliness & solitude for our elderly-because they smoke. We already have it cast in stone that as far as 'they' are concerned at least 4 million of our smokers can die in resplendant isolation for if they smoke then sorting out some form of social contact is now a thing of the past! Just another government funded sock puppet no doubt!

We have been having some fun with a Mr Ken Armstrong, Complaints manager @ Tayside NHS, who has been extolling the virtues of his "Smoking Liaison Officer" who patrols the grounds of Ninewells (Dundee) hospital after it has been declared "considers smoking to be the most serious threat to the health of the people of Tayside."  

 

According to Dr Gabriella Segura a wisp or two of SHS is right at the bottom of the list of things NOT to inhale! I am no scientist but even my humble brain would lead me toward removing all vehicular emissions on the grounds of Tayside Hospitals-wouldn't yours? 

 

The full response to my enquiry is here and there are a few questions that needed to be asked! So I sent the following back:

(Thanks to Belinda)     I thank you for your response to my original query re your policies regarding smoking & NHS Tayside. You state: "NHS Tayside, along with other Health Boards in Scotland, considers smoking to be the most serious threat to the health of the people of Tayside" Is that so Kenneth? Then please explain to me how Scotland has received these warnings from the EU concerning air pollution yet you think the humble cigarette far outwieghs all else! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-16333155
I quote from the article: "WWF Scotland has analysed Scottish Air Quality data on nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels in parts of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth. The group said they were in breach of EU targets designed to protect health." Looks to me like Tayside has a much larger problem than a smoker!
If air pollution is NOT a problem, then why is Cameron moving the goalposts everytime the EU threaten to impose fines on our little island? They don't want to impose pollution fines on those who choose to smoke!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/mar/11/britain-300m-fine-london-air-pollution

In your second sentence you actually say what you truly mean when you say  "In accordance with this view we believe that, as a public health organisation, it should contribute, in every way possible. to continuing de-normalising smoking."

As non smokers yourselves, and in the vast majority of people nowadays of course, you feel empowered to bully those of a less significant number into doing what you would like them to do! You have decided that you abhor smoking, therefore smoking/smokers should be eradicated. In effect, being of the 75% that no longer smoke, you can dictate what the other 25% must do in order to please you. What happened to freedom of choice along the way, or freedom of expression? It is already proven that SHS is harmless, especially outside in the open air so what you are trying to enforce is through sheer 'bloody mindedness' and nothing else. I would also ask you a very simple question Kenneth-"which is the more lethal, 20 minutes in an air tight container with cigarettes or exhaust fumes being pumped in?" Don't you think your statement ".... considers smoking to be the most serious threat to the health of the people of Tayside" is somewhat put to bed? Is it any wonder people in general mock those who quote such rubbish?
Quote: "A key component of this is Taysides Policy which bans smoking in its grounds".  Very good indeed, I applaud your resolve Kenneth but there is one small problem my friend-you have no legal power to do so because the law does not ban smoking in an outside area. Indeed, you may ban anyone smoking in a doorway etc but once twelve inches away from that doorway the law renders you powerless! Fact.
Now I come to the hilarious part of your response: "Our Liaison officer is trained to persuade those NHS staff and visitors who smoke in our grounds to put out their cigarettes and signpost them to support services to help them quit smoking permanently". Kenneth, my mirth shows no sign of abatement ten minutes after reading this for if a smoker simply says, "Bugger off and keep your nose outta ma business" then there is absolutely nothing your trained monkey liaison officer chappy can do! If a smoker enjoys his/her cigarettes as they obviously do then no amount of cajoling by this flatfootted buffoon is going to make them change their minds-he might as well talk to the polluted air that is all around Scottish people-smoker & non smoker alike.
The latter part of your Liaison Officers 'powers' are particularly insidious "In the case of staff, he can also report smokers to their line managers for potential disciplinary action". How absolutely disgraceful that you may have fully qualified Dr's & Nurses working in Tayside hospitals for years, doing exemplary work yet now, because of one idealogical law they are reported for enjoying that which they may have enjoyed for 30-50 years. just how despicable has this sad, sad nation of ours become.
Couple this with the fact that it is proven beyond all doubt that  non smokers & drinkers are a complete drain on the Welfare State because they have the audacity to live longer and it rather defeats the object of the exercise does it not? Add to that the simple fact that people are more concerned with their quality of life (enjoyment), not longevity and it renders this entire ideology baseless!
I have no doubt that some of your staff have taken the opportunity to give up smoking, good for them, but this is not about those that are willing to try, this is about absolute bullyboy tactics on those who DO NOT wish to give up as they enjoy their cigarettes, pipes, roll ups, joints etc too much.
Very kind of you to actually have ONE smoking shelter for 'in-patients' to use. I don't suppose it has occurred to you that the elderly and/or infirm will not bother to totter from one end of the hospital to the other to utilise this wondrous gift as it is easier for them to stand outside-where ever there is a door! You say that when you had more shelters 'visitors saw this as an excuse to smoke anywhere they liked'. Newsflash Kenneth - they still can, providing they are outside the building!
Do you seriously think that your Smoking Policy will eventually lead to a smoke-free Scotland. I am a non smoker Kenneth and I can tell you now that this is never going to happen. It is so sad that the anti tobacco funded lunatics (that lobby government-which is wrong!) such as ASH (England, Wales & Scotland) have drummed up this message because this is never going to happen. Too many people enjoy a cigarette, or a pipe, or a roll up or smoking pot for smoking to be wiped out-you have to be realistic man and not blinded by the jihadists like Duffy, Robison, Arnott, Sandford et al.
You are part of an idealogical law brought in on the back of lies, fabrications, manipulated statistics & utter junk science-if you would like me to detail each one please don't hesitate to ask> I will give you one clue Kenneth-Jill Pell and her now infamous Heart Attack study (17% reduction I believe) which was debunked within 24 hrs and later caused a public apology on the BBC. Would you like more?
Whilst I have no doubt that you feel you are on the winning side in this prohibitionary era (just remember America in the 1920's) [remember the bloodshed over puritanism!] I would warn you to look back seventy years to 1935. You will find that one Adolf Hitler instigated similar public warfare & propaganda in those times and look what happened!
I look forward to your comments on all the above and have no worries Kenneth, I can reference everything if need be

Yours expectantly

 Note that his attention is drawn to the comparison between a humble cigarette & Scotlands obviously major problem with general air pollution.
Note that he then states: "... should contribute, in every way possible. to continuing de-normalising smoking." Err, why? Isn't this denying people their freedom of choice I ask?
Note, I asked: "I would also ask you a very simple question Kenneth-"which is the more lethal, 20 minutes in an air tight container with cigarettes or exhaust fumes being pumped in?"
 Note he quotes 'their' policy of "No smoking on hospital grounds...", the only problem being of course, that the pratt has no power to enforce 'their policy'. In fact, if you read my response to this dyed in the wool smoker hater you will see that we pointed out a considerable number of wrongs in his reply; I awaited his detailed response to that lot with bated breath (not really, but it sounds good ). Today was the day and today it all became crystal clear, well as clear as mud!

a)... NHS Tayside, on the basis of health improvement, health protection and policy compliance (national & local), wish to stop staff smoking on-site and at the same time influence the behaviours of visitors, carers and patients accordingly.
b)... It is early days with the new initiative launched only 3 months ago but the signs are positive with significant reductions of on-site smoking by staff and some positive feedback from visitors.

So, we can clearly see that Mr Kenneth Armstrong cannot (or does not want to) answer any of my questions proving that the pollution argument is simply cobblers!  
He doesn't want to take me on over the 'bullying' charge afforded to the 'policy treatment' of staff, carers or visitors!  
He doesn't really wish to argue the point that exhaust emissions might be deadlier than a few wisps of SHS (how strange!). 
He refuses to acknowlege that he (nor any of his like minded souls) have any legal power to physically 'stop' a smoker smoking on the grounds! 
He seems to revel in the fact that, as employess, staff can face disciplinary action for doing that which they have probably done for thirty years-serves them right if they have a staff shortage in coming years! 

 

He also seems to follow the path of the extremely righteous in refusing to accept that Scotland will NOT be smoke-free within 20 years!
In fact his reply to me was basically a waste of time and effort for all the effort involved on his part was in avoiding all the questions posed to him! I know he cannot answer the questions for he has pointed me in the direction of the "Scottish Public Services Ombudsman", knowing full well that all he/she will do is point me at the date this law was implemented. 
I have replied once more asking him how they justify the immense expenditure of £22m on a programme that has yielded a 2% decrease in smokers-I doubt the answer will be all that interesting, if I even get one! 
Meanwhile, in another anti tobacco lunatic asylum, the Philippine Department of Health has now declared that e-cigs should be avoided as they WILL NOT assist quitting smoking! I find that to be an incredibly naive statement as e-cigs are already being hailed as the greatest aid to quitting smoking! Question: how much was involved and who has paid off the impoverished Philippines Government? And here's a newbie to the advertising ranks as e-cigs will soon be clearly advertised!
As I've mentioned before the Bulgarians are not very happy bunnies at the prospect of the total ban and many cafe owners have been fined for ignoring the law.  In fact, so angry are many of the 40% smokers that they have sworn to set up their own political party so as to defeat the present ruling party! 

 

And who can blame them for this ban will have a disastrous effect on an already impoverished population where 33% live below the poverty line, where the local cafe is the center of social activity and worse still, the tourism rate (a major source of income) is already falling! Frank Davis has a fair bit to say about it here. Supported by the EU directive on tobacco control, this will put even more strain on the financial demise of the totally ruptured EU! 

Can you have any sympathy for these numbskulls who seek to enforce a law through stigmatisation, denormalisation and bullying those who choose to smoke?-I don't think so. No matter how much they spend (see above), they still demand more & more to defeat the evil cigarette-absolutely barmy as we totter toward financial obscurity.
There is some good news however as the Missouri House panel voted against imposing office smoking bans, much to the chagrin of State Rep. Kimberly Gardner, D-St. Louis, who had implored colleagues to adopt her amendment by citing statistics about the health risks associated with smoking and breathing in the others' tobacco smoke (same old garbage then!). Talking of garbage (not to mention double standards) our EU MPs dictate smoking policies yet still light up in Brussels. Of course it was banned there but then the EuroMPs overturned their own ruling as "they do a very stressful job" - oh bless!

John Humphreys wrote a delightful piece stating that "It was time to stand up for smokers rights" but it seems (as that was written eighteen months ago) no one is prepared to stand up for smokers-well, very few of us at any rate! 
And to better thae above we have a marvellous article from DR Gabriella Segura describes the present situation perfectly in a piece entitled "About why doctors lie, and how to deal with it - We live in a very dark age..."..... oh indeed we do, indeed we do. However, there is always a bright spot somewhere and this gem comes form a Spanish (Madrid) unemployment office. Spain is seeing unemployment rise at an alarming rate, especially the under 25's, thanks mainly to EU policies, rules & regulations but THIS is absolutely brilliant and simply turns the clock back 50 years in such a simplistic way. Oh joy! Watch, listen & enjoy.

 

... and the Sheeple just sit, doing nothing!

 

Has nobody noticed that this country is being destroyed in front of our very eyes, does nobody care anymore? People these days are too 'possession conscious', unlike the early post war years when most people had sweet bugger all-except a common sense of camaraderie. The first 'americanism' was "keeping up with the Jones's" and boy oh boy did that catch on quicktime as one house tried to outdo the next with the latest car, lawnmower or twin tub etc. We suddenly became greedy-and the politicians let us. The pub was the breeding ground for talk of all matters human thus the greed factor quickly spread and the 'tally man' was noted at an increasing number of doors per street as he collected, on a weekly basis, on the loans he had given out for various items to be purchased.
As the years went by, more and more people became accustomed to a certain lifestyle, a certain (if only modest) affluence and worst of all people learned how to live in debt. Politicians allowed this for it was easy to see that giving a man enough rope was the sure fire way of that man hanging himself; ie, build up enough debt per household and people are then scared to react in case they 'lose' that household. It was also apparent, as the decades went past, that smoking rates were declining, people were naturally refusing to take up that which is now so scorned by so many. So why did they suddenly "come for the smokers"? The answer is quite simple when you think about it for having dedicated so much time & financial resources (ours) to killing off the illegal drug trade (yeah, righty ho then) the WHO needed something attackable that would give them the credibility back that the drug war had cost them. When you consider that 75% of people in this country were now non smokers it was not too difficult to round up anti tobacco warlords (Glantz et al) to produce whatever written 'back up' they needed, produce the most ridiculous statistical studies (Jamorozik et al) and create lobby groups to make a hullabaloo about the death and destruction caused by smoking/smokers-even though the WHO published a report stating that smoking does NOT cause lung cancer! 

        

                                     (Jamrozik-fraudster)    (Glantz-master of deception)

Such has been the public reaction to all this that 'Joe Public' now firmly believes that the next smoker to walk past him will cause his immediate demise, after all Carmona brazenly declared that there was no safe level of SHS! In November, 2012 the good people of Arizona finally dumped this bigoted fool on the sidewalk and out of office.
The problem of course is that the anti tobacco lobby has now become so huge and so well funded they know they can virtually demand anything they want. For instance, the fat plonker in Eire is plugging for a smoking ban in cars with children for all he's worth. 

 

 (The obese Reilly dwarfs two more modestly built gentleman)

Vastly overweight, breathing like a rampaging bull, amid calls for his resignation and in a country that has already been bailed out by the EU, all he can concern himself with is smoking in cars! No wonder S.Ireland is in such a financial mess! Of course, we all know that smoking in a vehicle with children in is now frowned upon and 99% would not dream of doing so but this action just goes to show you how far the anti smoking lobby has come since the humble days of the 'Godber Blueprint' in 1975. But how has it got this far you may ask?
This tells you the whole sad story of empowerment for the anti tobacco loons, for as they correctly state here they only asked for smoking to be banned on "short haul" flights to begin with-after all, 'anyone can do without a fag for two hours surely?' But just look where it has lead us-banning smoking in open spaces now, apartment balconies, 20 metres from doorways; it has gone mad! How soon before smoking in your own home is outlawed? It's obvious what they will use....."think of the chiiildren....purleeese!" We are losing our pubs, clubs, bingo halls, snooker halls, you name it and we are losing them. 33% of our villages are now 'publess' thanks to the people simply sitting back and doing nothing! That means 33% of our rural social lives have disappeared for good, the elderly who rely on these venues for social contact have been doomed to a life of loneliness and solitude thanks to the disgracefully poor implementation of this ban. 

But wait.....I hear AGE UK hurtling to the rescue of their elderly and often infirm geriatric members. Well, hurtle word be the last word used actually for AGE UK don't even recognise that loneliness is the biggest problem facing our elderly-or even a problem! Our respondant (Jessica) says:

"There is no evidence that the smoking ban has led to increased levels of isolation and loneliness, but Age UK is working at a local level to tackle the problem through a number of different schemes, which does not include campaigning for changes to the law on smoking in public."

Now I don't know about you but I find this statement absolutely incredible, especially in the light of Jeremy Hunt's  magnificent gesture in stating that HE will sort out the loneliness problems of our elderly. According to the agency (AGE UK) there is no problem yet the Health Minister says there is! 

                         

                    (Help is there - if you don't smoke!)

Interesting to say the least. I am intrigued as to how they refuse to admit there is a loneliness problem but in the next breath state but Age UK is working at a local level to tackle the problem through a number of different schemes!  So how, exactly, are they resolving a problem which to them doesn't exist in the first place? The mind boggles. but then note the added 'rider'... "which does not include campaigning for changes to the law on smoking in public."
So we now know that AGE UK are just another puritannical bunch who are frightened to death to say or do anything that may not be seen as 'PC', in fact, so much so that they are quite happy to ignore the needs of approximately 4 million elderly smokers who, now their social lives have been slaughtered due to pub/club/bingo hall closures, have nowhere to go for social interraction! I think I summed it up correctly in me reply to 'Jessica' when I said,

"Most people want to enjoy themselves while they are here and if that includes smoking then so be it, that is their choice, but to deny them the company of others in warm, convivial surroundings where they can socialise comfortably is a despicable act indeed and the methods of a sadistical organisation of people hell bent on control."

Of course I said a whole lot more and posed more questions to 'Jessica' and to be honest, I very much doubt she will respond again-how sad. Of course she knows nothing of our estimated three million secret smokers, she knows nothing of the mechanics of smoking bans other than to say that 'she' would prefer that our elderly give up something they have enjoyed for a lifetime-WHY? If a person has smoked for, say, 40/50 years why on earth would they want to give up when it is probably the only enjoyment they have left in life?
But you see folks, this is the mindset of these brain dead, brain washed people in offices of power-they have very little knowledge of real world goings on, much less the daily lives of the working classes! Being a complete 'plum', our Jessica has reported to me that smoking rates have dropped 8%, so I have asked her to verify such a monster figure as we actually only hqave a drop drom 24%-22% !
It seems that my good friend Barry Slasberg has also been on the AGE UK trail but so ignorant are they to his requests, they haven't even bothered to reply to him.
So we will not be banking on AGE UK coming to the rescue of our smoking elderly for it seems that you enjoy that which government doesn't want you to enjoy (but still reaps the rewards), you are in the wilderness as far as this 'Charitable Organisation' are concerned.
It is well known that one of the weapons used by TC was the inclusion of SIDS in their armoury. Ridiculous but true for if smoking caused SIDS then it would no longer be called SIDS! However, after having been forced to apologise and withdraw the allegations TC will probably be looking toward this new organisation SADS (Sudden Adult Death Syndrome) for a correlation between smoking & SADS! Why not? They will invent some correlation or other if there isn't one to be found, you mark my words on that. Please take a minute and sign the petition here for these people don't distinguish between smoker & non smoker - remarkable in this day and age! This is backed by the Oliver King Foundation , not a ragbag hillbilly outfit by any means.
Funnily enough there is an island over Greece way where early deaths are not heard of, in fact, most of the people on Ikaria live to a ripe old age-must be all that sun, sea & sand that keeps them so young. It would seem that a lack of air pollution has an awful lot to do with their longevity-spot the difference.These people smoke too!

With the war on tobacco seemingly endless, it is surprising to see
that the best substitute for a cigarette (the e-cig) coming under such a sustained attack from all smoker haters. Writer Lionel Shriver has summed it up perfectly when he says:

"With e-cigs, it seems you haven't "really quit", even if you've really quit tobacco, the very substance that sheepish smokers yearn to eschew. In desperation, rabid anti-smokers deride e-cigs as stupid-looking and pathetic. Apparently we're in danger of "renormalising smoking" after having lavished endless initiatives on making smoking socially unacceptable among all but a sad, quivering few."

So now it's the appearance of smoking that is really getting to them, not the actual smoking. Because e-cigs are NOT actually smoking and only give the appearance of smoking, the TC mob are stumped, they cannot take the moral high ground for it is their own actions that forced this creation to combat smoking tobacco in the first place. It must be really galling for them, it really must.
Such is the power of government brainwashing (already mentioned) that
Justin Bieber fans have allegedly been posting pictures of themselves self-harming as a way of pleading with the pop star to stop smoking marijuana (a blunt).

 

 (Bieber with a 'blunt'... Reach for the razor blades!)

 Pardon?

                             (Oooooh, Justin shows his freedom of choice!)
You heard it right, the idiot faction of our youth are now so obsessed with smoking related harm that they are harming themselves just because they 'think' this pop/teen idol Bieber is smoking marijuana! They think, they don't know, they only think-it could've been Golden Virginia! Still, I suppose we ought to be amazed they can even manage that (thinking) on their own, especially the way governments are trying to shape peoples lives. Doing a good job too, people don't need to worry about anyone else hurting them they are now conditioned to do it to themselves-hilarious! 
It will come as no surprise to anyone to learn that we are sinking deeper & deeper into the financial black hole as we continue to give away our wealth to those legal thieves in Brussels, fund totally impractical smoking bans, happily watch businesses go out of business (whilst Osborne bleats on about growth on TV-does anyone listen anymore[?]). The economy is failing rapidly as Leicester based  Jessop's have now closed for good with a loss of 1,370 jobs (187 stores) and Honda are shedding 800 jobs in Swindon and all the time more and more immigrant 'wankers' 'workers' are flooding into a country, where less and less jobs are available, to ravage our generous benefit system. Steve Baker MP sums it all up very nicely here; there is only one end, poverty!
Just to round this off, and to show all the sheeple why they have to stop being sheeple,  Gabriela Segura, MD has written a marvellous piece about the anti smoking mob, his scorn & derision for them is all too obvious the further you read. Even our old friend 'air pollution' pops up here and there.
Whilst the sheeple sit and bleat aimlessly and the politicians twist and turn everything to suit their NWO masters this country will continue to slide downhill. The people need to sit up, take real notice of the way our country's social habits are being manouvered, the way our meeting places, our discussion centres, our chilling out talking shops are being slowly but surely removed from our everyday life. Even AGE UK are playing their part in all this by refusing to acknowledge the problem in the first place so what hope is there left. The sheeple need to rise up at long last and take this country back and do what Cameron/Clegg failed to do (another promise broken) and repeal/amend the ridiculous smoking ban law. Return to the people the freedom of choice they once had!
