Welcome, Cathal. You assert that BAT market cigarettes to children in the Third World. Do you have proof of this, or is it merely more anecdotal rubbish?

With regard to people having a right to not inhale tobacco smoke - are you saying that it is right to impose a law on a significant minority [and thereby cause the closure of many businesses] simply to satisfy a personal preference? Personally, I find some perfumes and other artificial scents cause me great discomfort and nasal irritation, but I would consider myself tolerant enough not to demand a ban. Where do you want to stop? Ban all fat people? Tall people? Short people? Red heads?

The criticsim of Burrows was valid – BAT market cigarettes to children in the Third World.
And Emerald Islander, I call reductio ad hilterum on your personal liberty argument . I would argue that non-smokers’ right not to inahle your smoke should trump the smokers’ right to smoke in workplaces.

Marley – Welcome and thanks. Prohibition doubtless will fail, but why do we have to suffer the fucking thing in the meantime?

Excellent blog, I have a need to see the fake charities and puritan liars fall. I will watch them with great interest until I see a hole that they can fall into and then I will help to push. All prohibition has failed and it will again. Thanks grandad for some wise words.

Grandad, Is there really anyone out there who believe , this government is doing a good job?

Opposite the EU parliament there was a lovely Irish Pub, with ashtrays of course. They can also smoke in the EU parliament.

I can remember one of children coming home crying, with the propaganda at school, that was about 15 years ago. She kept trying to tell me my legs were going to drop off erggh, I asked how many people she knew who smoked, lot’s was her reply, how many people do you know, who have no legs, I asked her, none was the reply.
She went to bed happy, now she is all grown up she smokes herself, education is fine, but it’s the lying and blatant propaganda I have a major problem with as I am sure many others do. She was about 6 at the time, I kept thinking to myself, what evil is lurking in the school, to want to give the kids nightmares!
