Here we go again....................

It seems that we are to be subjected to yet another round of infantile hectoring about a known non-problem.
Yes, it's passive smoking again. Another round of meaningless drivel dressed up as soundbites with the eventual aim of - well who knows where it will end - this lady has an idea and I think that she may be right.

This smoker is obviously a danger to society, (but not the drivers of course).

 The move to discuss the myth of passive smoking may well be welcomed by some and it may well be a means to publicise more of the facts about tobacco use and its remarkable lack of serious health consequences.* Unfortunately it won't though. what it will do will provide a reinforcement of a raft of already promoted misconceptions and lies all backed by the ever present mantra of 'studies have shown' and 'experts agree'. This bullshit will form 'government advice' and will be passed down to all levels for immediate implementation. For the children of course. Who could possibly disagree?

What it will mean is that the smoker will eventually not be allowed to smoke anywhere, not in their own cars or homes, not in any public places, nowhere where children may be present outdoors, not where anyone else, (fellow smoker or not),may catch the faintest whiff of the evil weed. You may be allowed to smoke in your own garden if you don't have children and there are no dwellings within 100 yards, but only with a license.**

I hate smoking and want to ban it . What do you mean nobody will take me seriously?

Seriously, noone is going to tell me that I cannot smoke in my own home or in my garden or on any land that I may own. The current smoking ban goes way too far and this sort of meddling is well beyond what any government should be getting involved with, far less the unpleasant mess of  unelected quango's, fake charities and professional hatemongers that seem to be drawn to this debate.

When will it end? It won't because even if smoking is completely eradicated, they will find other targets. In fact they already are. It will never end unless we stop it.

** I made this up, but don't bet that it will stay a fantasy


PS expect this sort of shite to repeat itself all over the place too!


UPDATE: You just got love this! The carbon monoxide in car fumes are good for us. Wait..........isn't there CO in tobacco smoke? Fags must be good too.  They've stopped taking comments on this after just  4!!!!!!!!
