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!


Precisely...

More importantly, the governments give a large part of the revenue from the tax on tobacco back to non-smoking fake charities like ASH to create ever more ludicrous anti-smoking campaigns.

Smokers are not only paying for their health care they are also forced to pay fascist puritans like to treat them like Untermenschen.

the government will turn turtle and back down soon - just like it did over the " Petrol Crisis" another " We Won" victory that now sees petrol at a Euro a litre.......

Match the crime with the sentence:

1) A man who used his two-year-old daughter as a decoy so he and his pregnant girlfriend could steal from three Poppy Appeal tins and a Multiple Sclerosis charity box over a period of two weeks last year, hiding the cash in their daughter’s buggy.

The 25-year-old also pleaded guilty to carrying a lock knife, stealing a guitar, and the attempted theft of another collection tin. He has a string of previous theft convictions dating back five years.

2) A pub landlord convicted for non-payment of a fine for allowing a “mass smoke-in” in his pub on the day of the smoking ban. He no longer owns the pub, and is bankrupt.

a) Six months in jail

b) A suspended sentence and a six-month drug rehabilitation order
