Smoking bans KILL businesses - FACT!
A little note to Brighton's 'Consultation Chairman'
Dear Daniel,
I have read, in total disbelief actually, the proposal to 'ban'
smoking on Brightons famous pebble/stone beach. The actual composition
of the beach is immaterial but the proposed ban is not! Allow me to
quote from a daily newspaper if you will?
a)... "Cigarettes could be banned on beaches in Brighton to keep the seaside smoke-free"
Smoke free Daniel? How is Brighton
'smoke-free' when the place, like all busy towns/cities, is inundated
with road traffic-both petrol & deisel? have you fallen for the
simple histrionics created by such as ASH, CRUK, FRESH et al and
consider that the merest whiff of cigarette smoke will kill - and
ignored the fact the exhaust fumes do! Even the World Health
Organisation has backed down from the lies, fabrications, manipulated
statistics & junk science used to inaugurate these bans in the first
place-simply because THEY are now in place! SHS is harmless.
b)... "It is part of a consultation asking residents if they would support a move to extend smoke-free outdoor areas..... "
And may I ask the obvious question regarding this 'residents quiz', "how skewed is such a questionnaire when it is known that 75% of the residents are non smokers in the first place?" Also, how you guarantee that http://dsd.me/smokefreeme/programme/smoke-free-me/
won't get involved to ensure that the figures are even more skewed in
their favour? You might not have seen the twists & turns these
people are capable of (outright lying is only one of them) but I
have..... on numerous occasions!
c)... Board chairman Daniel
Yates said: 'We're keen to keep people safe from the effects of smoking
in public areas, especially children who are most vulnerable...."
2 weeks old & already smoking!
(says it all really!)
'Safe from the effects of SHS/smoking in public places???'
You have already fallen into the chasm of anti smoking rhetoric as you
actually think there is harm from smoker emittences whilst in the open
air! Let me ask you a simple question Daniel:- "when are you going to
ban buses from entering Brighton's town centre or close Pool Valley
Coach Station so as to avoid all those coaches from belching out life
threatening exhaust fumes? Do you, personally, have any idea how many
carcinogens/dioxins burst forth from the exhaust pipe when a coach/bus
is actually started up Daniel?
d)... "Smoking is one of Brighton's leading
causes of premature death, and the proposed smoke-free areas are the
places where children are most likely to be present ."
i)... Daniel, this is so easy to destroy my friend and if you are a
principled man you will convey this to your committee-who obviously need
educating with truth! To start with there is no such thing as a
'premature death', the reason? Simple. Look very carefully about your
person Daniel, and your partner as well (with a microscope if necessary)
and tell me where abouts on the body it states your predetermined D.O.D
(date of death). I'll give you 100 years to find it, knowing full well
that it does not exist. What does exist is a medical/mathematecal
trickery of figures which has everyone thinking that if they 'peg-out'
before their "three score & ten" they have been cheated of life!
This of course is utter hogwash as not one person in this land has a
predetermined lifespan-any of us could die at any time. Therefore the
myth that smoking/SHS causes premature deaths is simply that - a myth.
Ask your committe this simple question Daniel please: "why were/are the six longest ever living people on this planet smokers?" You could also ask this rather unsavoury question too: "why did Mr & Mrs Smith's baby only live for 3 minutes-even though birthed in the most sterile situation possible?" You see Daniel, no single person knows, at birth, just how long another person will live but 'the myth of those two words (premature death)' is very, very useful to all anti smoking zealots but also something that Arnott & Co won't discuss with me at length!
A truly gruesome sight!
ii)... "where children are most likely to be present". Now Daniel, please don't tell me that you have been sucked in by the anti smokers last resort - using the 'cheeeeeldren'! let me ask you another question Daniel: "why
are we living in an age where our welfare costs are reaching such
monumental proportins that soon we won't be able to retire until we are
actually 100(!)?" The answer my friend is very simple. All those
very naughty babies born in the aftermath of the war (late 40's &
50's) have had the audacity to continue well past their aforementioned
three score & ten! In other words, all those naughy babies growing
up when smoking rates were in the 70% regions (oh yes they were my son)
were basically immune and that is why we now have more than 10,000
centenarians in this country! The Thalidomide drug caused far more havoc
than any smoking did! The 'cheeeeeldren' are trotted out at
every single opportunity nowadays-and they always will do as they have
nothing left in their armoury simply because no bar-staff ever dropped
dead (as supposed by ASH et al initially) and never will!
e)... "The proposed plans appear
designed to make the places like parks and and beaches, often very busy
during school holidays, a safer place for children to play." Note the words 'appear designed',
one of their favoured buzzwords akin to 'could be', probability of',
'maybe', 'possibly be', might be' and a whole host of others designed to
bend the mind! Note again, as above, the use of the 'cheeeldren' - they never stop!
f)... Brighton and Hove's director of public health Tom Scanlon said: "Tobacco smoke typically contains more than 170 toxins including carcinogens and air pollutants."
But has he told you or stated the number of such in a single 'blast'
from an exhaust pipe or of the 200,000 dioxins emitted by our much loved
BBQ's during the summer months? has he told you of the arsenic or
formaldhyde in our drinking water or even the chlorine? I'll bet not! Mr
Scanlon simply trots out the age old 'safety net' answers when needed,
nothing more nothing less. he knows just how gullible people are thus
talking in BIG numbers is an easy game to learn & play! One quick
question for the most eminent Mr Scanlon, Daniel: "could the most
honourable gentleman please tell me exactly how many people have died
from actual smoking, in Brighton, in the past 100 years; ie, how many
death certificates can he produce for me?"
g)... Mr Scanlon continues with the most feeble of 'finishers' by stating: "Outdoor tobacco smoke dissipates more
quickly than indoor smoke but in certain concentrations and weather
conditions it still poses an additional health risk to non-smokers.' Pray
ask him what these 'certain concentrations' might be and also what
'weather conditions' we might be talking about because more than 50
years of thorough research has only ever proven cigarette smoke to rise
vertically and disappear altogether! The second strange thing being of
course that the World health Organisation have now classified SHS as
HARMLESS! Now there's a thing, for a decade ago it was deemed more toxic
that 'sarin gas'-which of course is used extensively in germ warfare
etc!
So Daniel, as your survey of local people continues, even though skewed,
and your anti smoking/anti tobacco mobsters force regulation after
regulation upon the poor beleagured smokers have a quiet word with
yourself and ask the question: Can Britain/Brighton afford to lose
anymore businesses (pubs, clubs, coner shops etc) and can Brighton
afford to see it's valuable tourism trade diminishing on a yearly basis.
Just think Daniel, this idiotic smoking ban now costs this country in
excess of £1/2 bn every single month - now what could that do for the
Royal Sussex? http://www.bsuh.nhs.uk/hospitals/our-hospitals/royal-sussex-county-hospital/
How many nurses/doctors could that buy? How much more urgently needed equipment could that buy Daniel? You embrace
people of many sexual orientations in your town yet you wish to
demonise 25% of your population simply because they choose to smoke.
When do you start demonising the 99.2% that choose to enjoy sugary
foods, sugary drinks, sugary sweets etc? Will they no longer be allowed
to sprawl out on the stone/pebble beach that Brighton is famous for?
As for the law, well, the law clearly states that smokers must NOT smoke
indoors or inside of any business premises. Therefore they have to be
outside, in all elements, to enjoy their chosen smoke. I do believe that
Brighton Rock beach be an outside area so how are you proposing to
police such a ridiculous proposal? To police such a creation will
detract from your decreasing police force from catching criminals worthy
of catching! Do you reaqlly want to leave the good people of Brighton
open to mass criminal abuse?
Now I know the question that is burning with you Daniel so I am sorry
that I am going to disappoint you somewhat but I am a non smoker, I was
diagnosed with cancer in 2010 and yes, I defend smokers rights to exert
their freedom of choice. Smoking doesn't bother me in the slightest-even
though the anti smoking lobby whipped up a frenzy of hatred against
smokers. People still think we live in a democracy but I'm afraid that
the unforgivable Mr Blair changed all that in 2006 when the so called
"free vote" was forced/whipped through parliament.
I do hope that you don't succumb to the fraudulent claims of ASH et al
as they have only one agenda: the complete eradication of smokers &
the tobacco plant. People will still smoke if they want to, no matter
what the substance used and don't forget that the war on drugs has now
officially ended as the authorities have found they could not
win-despite throwing some $50trillion at it.
Such a shame that Brighton might not be rocking anymore Daniel.
Perhaps more of you might like to voice your opinions to Daniel!
Best wishes
Phil Johnson
