ax gamoto ri another thread about smoking, smokers vs non smoker !!

listen people, smokers have every right to smoke as non smokers have all the right to demand a fresh air but dont kid your self, the system isnt perfect , smoke is bad for the enviroment as driving cars/ using mostly all sort of machines even the energy we use is bad for the enviroment based on the way it is produced.

so lets stop demanding for an idealistic world and be realistic,

smokers you wont be able to be totally happy and non smoker what ever you can do you are not and wont stop smokers.

so when we no longer two faced we might slove this issue "when yu will give up transportaions and when we can stop all the industries that use "enviroment non friendly energy"..

and that wont happen , there is better chances for class A drugs to be legalized before smoking is no longer in demand on the market !

and you dont get what you wont "issued to non smoker" get on with it and accept that "non sokers" has as much rights to smoke as you do to not-smoke!

Smokers more than pay for their medical bills with the exorbitant taxes they pay for the privilege of smoking.

If governments (not the no smoking fascists) don't want us to smoke, they would make it a controlled substance, but they can't afford to!

Exactly CBBB I agree 100%

Ciggarettes, Alchohol, Driving all suposedly dangerous yet the Govt do not put a ban on them ...Why?? Because the loss of tax applied to these areas would increase income tax to a point where it would not be worth the average man working ...Govts get more money from tobbaco, alchohol and fuel than from any other taxes.

If (in the case of the UK and I would imagine any other EU country) the Govt gave the income from tobbaco alone to health care it would double its expenditure in that area overnight.

Thats my rant over ...just finishing my bottle of metaxas (only 5 star tonight) and my cig and I'm off to bed

But, really, after all that brandy, you should take an unnecessary fast drive round the block in a gas-guzzler before you retire ... :D

You can't stop it, you can only hope to contain it - like CBBBs humour.
