The TRUTH about Smoking ?
Rob Layton

The anti smoking lobby have done a great job of demonising smokers.
What is the real truth about passive smoking and is the smoke ban done for the health of the nation or as a result of some inbred hatred of smokers ?
My opinion is that it is for the latter reason.

In Great Britain there is a form of apartheid being operated on behalf of a very vocal minority of people that criminalises ordinary hard working decent people for smoking a legal substance that has been around for centuries.

I was horrified to see how people have been forced to sit outside in public shelters in full view of every passing bigot and made to look like animals in a zoo.
These people were paying the same for their drinks as the non smokers who sit in comfort inside.
Its little wonder that pubs are closing at the rate of twenty per day as a result of this lunacy.
Soon the pub will be a thing of the past, for smokers and non smokers alike.

My aim is not to encourage anyone to smoke completely the opposite as most of the information put out by the anti smoking lobby seems to be spurious at best, this goes a long way to encourage smokers to believe that they can carry on smoking because of the misinformation put out by these people.

The harm to society is being caused by a bunch of self righteous bigots who have divided society into smokers and non smokers.
The latter are being forced to have no leisure time in public places with friends, and criminalised if they do so whilst partaking of a legal substance that this and other Governments benefit from by way of extortionate tax on these products.

One could not be blamed for believing that the amount of penalisation is disproportionate for a smoker compared to that of illegal drug users.
If you are caught using an illegal substance ie cannabis you are far less likely to suffer the slings and arrows of stigma by society than dropping a fag end or God forbid smoke in a Cafe.

The smoking of weed, and 'doing coke' seems to be more socially acceptable to the higher classes, so a blind eye is turned and even rewards given to the people who supply and use the stuff.
No one will ever really know the amount of road accidents or other social evils, ie rape, muggings, or marriage breakup caused by the taking of drugs because they seem to be covered up, or not accounted for in official figures.

If you want to know the real truth about passive smoking you need a true scientific non bias view of this subject not a subjective biased view based on class hatred or political motivation.
This can be found on one of the millions of sites that are springing up worldwide to fight the cause of human rights on the smoking issue.
Read a scientific view and tell me that the anti smoking lobby have not lied or invented facts to back up their case.

Gordon Brown or his predecessor must see that this protest will not stop, the people responsible will not be forgiven until they rectify the gross injustice that they have done and modify the ban to a fairer system.
The recent By-Election results will be nothing in comparison to the General Election results if the LABOUR PARTY do not Listen as they said they would !

Sign the petition to amend the ban to a fairer system with choice for every body
