Swingin' Ryan Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Swingin' Ryan' date=' why on earth would the government seek to ban smoking if it wasn't such a drain on the NHS? Enough with the conspiracies against smokers. The amount of money that the government makes from taxes is bound to go down, there is no financial incentive there.[/quote']If the Government were that concerned about banning smoking the believe me they'd do it, closing the mines, bombing Iraq, if they want to do something they will do so. The Government know fine well they'll never stop everyone smoking through limp "healthy living" campaigns with Melanie Sykes promoting eating a banana with your lunch or something else equally obscure, what they want is the optimum number of smokers to keep reaping in the obscene amounts of money they make on taxes from cigarettes without having too many smokers being treated by the NHS to cause a big dent in their finances, hence the middle ground of a ban in bars. Then when they've got the perfect cigarette tax : smoking death ratio, they have enough money for such necessities as sparkling mineral water in Holyrood and "goodwill" visits to the Bahamas.If they're so desperate to ban smoking, why don't they ban it now instead of pussying around, why don't they go ahead and just ban it in bars like they did in Ireland and New York, they both managed to do it pretty efficiently with minimal bollocking around and chatting about it, why not in Britain?So they can all drive Mercedes and fuck lap dancers with their stupid wages they rape off smokers in taxes? Thought so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your conspiracies are such a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 They're not conspiracies at all, they're well organised plans to keep the Government looking it's best. I'm not a raging "fuck the system" leftist, but I think it's pretty plain to see that the British public come second, and keeping your government looking good,caring and keeping the wages high comes first. It's another classic example of bandwagon hysteria, everyone should watch "Grumpy Old Men" on BBC2, they always speak about it. Every 6-12 months there's a mass hysteria on one topic (normally orchestrated by the Daily Mail), we've had the Great Paedophile Hunt of '02 and "The War on Terror" which knocked back race relations about 25 years. Unfortunately we're in a bit of a quiet zone this year, what with the absence of Terror attacks and pre-teen kidnap, so it's back to that old reliable evil, the smokers.P.S I shouldn't even be the one defending smoking I'm a pretty light smoker as smokers go (around 5 a day) and I'm a VERY CONSIDERATE smoker and I've actually left areas where I've been perfectly within my right to smoke because they've got too busy and I don't want to bother non-smokers, despite there being non-smoking areas nearby that they have chosen not to stand in.

Did you know that the number one cause of rape is chip shop girls not giving as much salt to their male customers as desired. Maybe if these rapists knew that salt was bad for them, all this could be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsen B Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 ...you look irish (the camp part was just to annoy you )No no, i don't get annoyed by being called camp. The legend that is Morrissey is rather camp (and a bit Irish as well). But I don't look anymore Irish than I do Scottish. You could say I have Celtic face.

But the fact that you consider looking Irish an insult makes you seem a bit racist. And you were the one who turned this from a discussion about the smoking ban into personal insults so don't tell me i can't say things cos i don't KNOW you and that you're getting bored of it.

No I dont see looking Irish as a bad thing, you look Irish and when I said it you got annoyed, simple as that And you were the one who turned this from a discussion about the smoking ban into personal insults so don't tell me i can't say things cos i don't KNOW you and that you're getting bored of it.lol, smiths fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeC Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 people are being parented "for their own good" That brings up an interesting point, if you or any of the other "passive smoking causes health problems not proven" people were the parents of young children, would you happily smoke in their environment and allow others to?
