  • Did you know that the EU's Europe-wide smoking ban does NOT apply to the EU buildings in Brussels and Strasbourg ?

    No standing outside in the rain and snow for the authors of this legislation.

    Vote EU sceptical in June's European elections.

  • And even if the ban did apply to them, it wouldn't matter because they can simply walk accross the road to a pub and light up legaly within the rules of the far more lax belgian smoking.

    If food sales exceed 30% of your business income then "No smoking". If not (ie: a traditional pub/bar) then choose for yourself.

    Why can't we have a ban like that?

  • Smoking WILL fuck you up! The fact that the BBC are lying cunts and the politicians are out of control, control freaks doesn't change that fact.

  • In todays news the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Alistair Darling ) admits that the smoking ban has been the cause of pub closures.THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG AND REPEAL THE BAN.

  • socketgreg: I seem to remember a politician using the phrase " economical with the truth",but as ordinary people would say,LIES.

  • You can't fool all of the people all of the time but as this Government thinks we're all idiots they obviously think they can. I bet the future generations of these muppets are going to be really 'proud' of what grandad/great grandad done to 'help' this country - unless of course they will be so brainwashed that they'll think, no they won't think anything - thinking is banned

  • It is not just smoking issues that are made up, the NHS are presently running a campaign on alcohol (Know your limits)advising men to drink no more than 21 units of alcohol per week, this has no medical or scientific basis, but is just made up, doubt me google "How safe drinking experts let a bottle or two go to their heads"

    There are doctors and nurses all over the country advising their patients on this nonsense, says a lot abought our medical profession.

  • The child who tells lies, has to make up more lies to cover up the old lies, It would be something if the media got off their A**e and did some work for a change and asked PROF Pell, who put her up to this? and why with her education she decided to go along with these statements knowing that that they obviously had no element of truth.

  • greatbritain22: I noticed that this video has been linked to the UKIP site.That will bring in more people.

  • marleytool. It would be great if someone could ask what amount of money received by CRUK and the BHF is actually spent on medical and scientific research under the Freedom of Information Act.

  • Unfortunately whilst huge amounts of money are being wasted on such a poor argument, money is being syphoned off from health care and genuine research by genuine scientists into the pockets of self acclaimed 'experts' who rather than using truth and facts to promote their agenda, prefer to line their pockets by constantly regurgitating the same old nonsense. If only our impotent media were to grow some balls we may get a more balanced view. I shan't bother holding my breath on that one.

  • My personal opinion is that with all of thess lies and junk science in the public arena, any credible or important science or genuine medical opinion is likely to be doubted or just ignored. It's a bit like crying wolf, you know the story.

  • labour has made clear their position regarding the smoking ban, the Tories and the LibDems are sitting on the fence and avoiding the issue.The smoking ban and all the ensuing salami cut restrictions are based on "junk" studies and the whole thing should be scrapped.

  • I can't believe how the mainstream parties can just give our country away. Have they no sense of national pride at all? It's pitiful.

    They're dripping in Common Purpose as well, need I say more!

  • They have not all swallowed it greg, look how many differant groups have popped up, who do not believe the rantis, their lies or propaganda, smokers are taking the wrap for all industries, what a cop-out. How many die in filthy hospitals, if you smoke, what do they put it down too if you die in there, from neglect, mistakes or bugs?

  • Helen I agree that UKIP are the party who are not following our masters in Europe and Farage and others have openly questioned their motives, our problem lies with main stream parties and the media who are following a World order espesially on the smoking issue, but other issues are at hand alcohol,food, the un-scientific agenda on global warming which millions of people have swollowed hook line and sinker.

  • Socketgreg: Ukip are also the only party who are brave enough to expose the lies of the anti-smoking organisations and this government and ask the obvious questions.

    Shouldn't it be the job of the oppostition to expose the lies of the government and bring them to account though? Not as far as smoking is concerned it appears.

    I was singing that song from Joseph today with my kiddies - Any Dream Will Do - all that went around in my head was ANY LIE WILL DO

  • socketgreg: I agree, and it gets even worse when you examine the EU involvement and control.

  • UKIP are the only party, who have said the smoking ban is an infringement of peoples rights, in a free society it would be up to bussiness owners to decide if they wish to be smoke free or not and public services should cater for all and not be allowed to discriminate against smokers, but as councils are told what to do by central Government and bodies such as LACORS send them instructions of what is expected of them, the whole sysem is now centrally based, councils have no independant freedom.

  • vote UKIP freedom to choose !!

  • socketgreg: They are on the road to destruction,the sooner the better.If they would only amend the law to allow Landlords the Choice to decide to be a smoking or non-smoking pub it would give the Anti's a message that enough is enough.

  • Exocet they had ear marked a few billion for this, they seem to be able to borrow billions to bail out people who have bought houses, they could ill aford whats a few more billion, pay back will be after the next election and Nu-Labour obviously do not want to win at all costs.

  • socketgreg: With the current economic situation and the Government borrowing I don't think they could afford an A4 book to record e-mails and electronic messages never mind a database.

  • The Government have suspended there plans to hold a database of all emails and electronic messaging but for how long?

  • socketgreg: That is why Gordon Brown is looking to tighten up the law on blogs etc.They don't want the TRUTH to be told.

  • Without the media to expose these lies, the only areas left (as hairy states in his video) is here and other similar sites.

  • xyzto1: Have a look at the DOH "Consultation report " that is posted in the Freedom2choose info website ( in news section under "Tobacco display ban). It is so obvious that it was in favour of the Anti's.

  • There is absolutely no reason, why we should not have warm comfortable areas for smokers. Remind me again why "smokers" are being punished, for a bunch of lies.

    I will never forgive nu-labour for allowing so many lies to corrupt science. We have nothing to believe anymore.

    Pigs are afforded more comfort than smokers outside. Fascism stinks, propaganda stinks.

    mandyv freedom2choose info fighting for choice and TRUTH

  • I sincerely hope they do self destruct exorcet. People are getting sacked for a bunch of lying ar**holes. This Country disgusts me at the moment, I feel like I am living in a timewarp, with the hatred and intolerance I read online. How they are treating the elderly, (forcing them out into the cold) who have the "quietest" voice of all. Pigs are afforded more comfort than smokers outside. Fascism stinks, propaganda stinks.

    mandyv freedom2choose info fighting for choice and TRUTH

  • The whole basis of comments here and Hairy telling us the truth, is we have a controlled media who are told to broadcast stories, even when an idiot can't fail to see through what prof Pell and others have anounced.

    When the media is told what they can and cannot say the Government and its stooges have no fear of them being exposed for what they are, I cannot see Prof Pell having to do a public apology for misleading people.

    A controlled press means a dictorial regime.

    I believe this is the UK.

  • This Government seem to be on "Self destruct", by banning tobacco displays they have just hammered the final nail in their coffin.Long may they burn in hell.

  • HSE OC255/15 is still available (under the freedom of information act) I got the HSE to send me a copy, after they attempted to cover it up by producing HSE OC255/16 which omitted the part I quote "HSE cannot produce epidemiological evidence to link levels of exposure to SHS to the raised risk of contracting specific diseases" they also got Google to remove their HTLM copy which shows they even have control over Google, people have said to me Google would not do that it is not ethical.

  • marleytool: NuLabour, it is more like the silenced voice of the British people living in a hole. Democracy is Dead, only lies and deceit survive.

  • But these people are meant to be open and honest. From their 1997 manifesto "New Labour is the political arm of none other than the British people as a whole. Our values are the same: the equal worth of all, with no one cast aside; fairness and justice within strong communities. "

    More blatant lies then right from the start.

  • HC: I have a hard copy of HSE OC255/15 so unless they send their jackbooted thugs to destroy it, the TRUTH STILL LIVES ON.

  • The link to the Department of Health "Consultation" is available on Freedom2choose info website. The majority of respondants were Anti-Smoking organisations and most of the responses were on pre-printed cards. ENOUGH SAID.

  • At first, they were just repeating other peoples lies, and that would have served as a get out clause for them to overturn the ban now that it's failed.

    But the government changed from gullible believers to guilty participants when they destroyed the HSE report (OC255/15) that revealed the lies for what they were.

  • I suppose they think that telling someone else' lies is perfectly acceptable, it is after all not like telling your own lies.

  • xyzto1: Politicians are PARROTS,they say what they are told to by the Anti-Smoking lobby.

  • The dispaly ban did NOT work in Canada, the ban is BAD for business, too many lies are being touted by the antis + as Hairy points out in the video, heart attack rates have RISEN after the ban, not dropped, more lies.

    mandyv freedom2choose info for smokers and non-smokers fighting for choice and TRUTH

  • The display ban will not happen until 2011 for supermarkets and 2013 for small shops( after the next election).The Westminster Government are hoping that it is brought in first in Scotland.SCOTLAND MUST FIGHT DISPLAY BANS.

  • BBC "Have your Say " are asking for comments.

  • HC: The Government are inventing " Green Taxes" to take the place of what they get from tobacco products.Once they have got enough they will ban tobacco completely.

  • The only reason it's unsustainable is because it is badly run with so many pen-pushers at the top creaming off all the funding!

  • helend498: They talk so much s*it that they should be confined in a Dysentry ward.

  • If every single smoker in the UK was to quit, the NHS would collapse. They persecute us daily, but they still need our money.

  • The latest they're saying is that the NHS is becoming unsustainable because of poor life-styles. Guess what's included? Smoking.

    Now, as everyone knows, smokers more than cover the cost of their treatments with the tax they pay. Do they really think we were all born yesterday?

  • The country is falling apart and all the politicians can do is listen to the "Health Freaks" and continue their war on smoking.The lunatics are running the asylum!!!!!!!

  • This Anti-Smoking crusade has gone far enough.

    IT IS TIME FOR THE 15,000,000 SMOKERS IN THE UK TO REBEL AGAINST THE SMOKING BAN.

  • The BBC are wrong again. Scotland has been hoping to do it before England and probably still will since the proposed English ban will not come into effect till 2011 for super-markets, and 2013 for small shops.

  • The BBC News just said that the ban on display of cigarettes already existed in Scotland. I am not aware of this, is the BBC wrong again.

  • I really can't understand their logic with this one Hairy

  • Shops will not have to hide their cigareete displays until after the next general election (assuming labour is still in power to implement this lunacy). So no shopkeepers will be voting labour then.

  • helend498: The UK will soon have GOVERNMENT SHOPS ( just like the USSR did ) where you can only buy GOVERNMENT AUTHORISED GOODS.THEY WANT TO CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIVES.

  • Well they've just gone and alienated another set of voters haven't they.

  • Go ahead HC. I have just watched the BBC News and Jean King from CRUK was spouting the usual rubbish like " we have public support " etc. As usual, there was no-one giving an opposite view.

  • I intend to make a video about this latest rubbish. A call to arms for every smoker in the country. If cigs go out of sight, every smoker should waste time in big shops (like tescos) asking them to list all the different brands they stock, before choosing one).

  • Can you believe them? They've just gone ahead and banned the display of cigs in shops now. Alan Johnson saying that it wouldn't harm the small shops? Didn't they say that about the pubs?

    You'd have thought they wouldn't be daft enough to make the same mistake twice

  • SCOTH was a very clever way of getting around accountability, and still publishing what ever the Government want, the Alcohol Health Alliance are set up in the same structure as SCOTH, a licence to dupe and lie as much as they wish.

  • The Scientific committee on tobacco and health (SCOTH), was set up by this government their publications of their finding said that second hand smoke was harmful, when the tobacco companies took SCOTH to court in 1998 on various counts, the judge ruled that SCOTH are an advisory committee and as such can not be held to account, even though the Government,NHS,ASH,and also the Advertising Standards Authority who used SCOTH statistics in not upholding my complaint about the NHS wedding advert.

  • Well the 2 members who've jumped ship and joined the anti-drinking campaign say it all - PURITANS. Is that what this government want for us all? It's been tried before, and cults do not work. Why should they?

  • ASH should be banned as an organisation that promotes hatred.

  • helend498: There are Cross-Part-Committees,Health Committees etc and it is to these that the Anti's swarm like flies to cows*it.

  • Ah the committees. I think they're from a planet further away than the current NuLab MPs, aren't they?

  • It's back again ok.

  • T think I am being censored,cannot see the vid.

  • helend498: They must be able to see the pattern by now but the real power is with the Committees,they make the recommendations to the Parliament.

  • The identical method using similar lies. Perhaps some of the MPs might twig now, or is that wishful thinking?

  • The AHA are using the same tactics as ASH did, proposing voluntary restrictions and after a period of time saying they don't work and then demanding legislation.

  • If this information could be aired to the drinking population so that they realise they are being lied to by the government, who have set up the alcohol health alliance and have drafted at least two members from ASH, so that they can spread the same kind of incorrect information as they have about second hand smoke.

  • Interesting comment socketgreg, ash representatives should not be allowed to comment at all, they are not interested in the real facts they may have once represented some reason but they are are now a bigotted organistion leaching our money to spread their Nazi style views.

  • Oh, they'll know about this and so will the media. It's just that they're obviously trying to ignore it.

  • More links to this video are appearing and there is even one in a Westminster blog. How much longer before the Westminster and Scottish Parliaments take notice.

  • The day is not far away when ALL the questions asked about the validity of the smoking ban will HAVE to be FULLY answered and made known to the BRITISH PUBLIC.

  • Well it's about time they started answering the questions instead of simply ignoring them. It makes them look like 'burkes'!

  • helend498: It is a case of " SCIENCE BY PRESS RELEASE", you get what the Government want you to know. It is only when questions are asked that the TRUTH comes out.

  • Well I never knew that SocketGreg. Thanks for the information. The lies just get worse and worse by the day. They have to be stopped

  • socketgreg: Smoking,Drinking,CCTV,ID Cards,Centralised databases etc, it is all to do with Government Control.

  • Statistics which have no scientific basis are being used against the consumption of alcohol.The NHS have a current advertising campaign, which says know your limits and recommend men drink no more than 21 units a week this is junk advice and has no medical basis whatsoever.Search 'How safe drinking experts let a bottle or two go to their heads', it was published on Timesonline Oct 20 2007.

    You will find you have to drink 63 units a week to get to the same risk of death as a teetotaller.

  • MzProgressive: Totally agree with what you said.Anti-smoking political lobbyists should not be allowed to be a charity.They just promote a hatred of smokers.

  • Thanks HC, I see it now.

  • #42 - Most Discussed (This Week) - News & Politics - Global

    WHERE IS THE VIDEO WHEN I GO TO THIS HONOUR. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT?

  • At the top left of the screen where it says UK, if you change this to Global, then the video is on page 3 of the Most Discussed (this week)-news and politics.

    If you leave it on UK, then it is in 4th place (page 1).

  • HC: Thats why the Anti's and the Government won't agree to a debate with Freedom2choose.We have the facts,they only have propaganda.

  • There is only one word that describes the smoking ban  -- SPITEFUL.

  • I had a small heart attack last month (I believe it was the smoking ban which caused this), I have spent many thousands of hours over the last two years researching and trying to bring the truth forward that there is no significant epidemilogical evidence that second hand smoke is harmful, my first success was finding HSE OC255/15 in Feb 2007, which I used to complain of an advert on SHS, to the ASA this coincided with the NHS pulling their Pre ban £10,000,000 advertising campaign in March.

  • Good work Greg, the documents are out there for those that bother to look. Every piece of junk that spews from the mouth of antis, can be ripped to pieces with a little bit of research.

    Nobody needs a science degree to spot bullshit.

  • I wonder where they'll stand if they dare to spout the Pell rubbish again? It's out in the open now that it's only fit for the bin. It was put there by most reputable scientists in the first place anyway.

  • I complained to the BBC, when they broadcast this rubbish, (to anyone with a bit of common sense)there had not been time from the inception of the smoking ban to come to any statistical conclusion.

    If the BBC are unbiased as they are supposed to be, why are they not broadcasting an apology for broadcasting such rubbish, and stating the truth now it is known.

  • When will the Scottish Government realise they have egg on their faces by trying to slip these statistics out quietly. Open Government my A*se.

  • I know, it's no wonder their share price is doing OK, when all the rest are falling off the cliff!

    We could all do with a bit of free advertising

  • helend498; I have never seen so many pictures of cigarettes displayed on posters as there are now. Every public building is plastered with them-------they are called " No Smoking signs" Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

  • Exocet - Big Pharma are a global Big Problem. BP=BP. Until they are curtailed and made to justify their power, I will continue to accuse them of monopoly. They are holding the world to ransom. One big scam. And they are supposed to be about health?

    The experiments they conduct on 'unfortunate' humans can only be described as barbaric.

    They utterly disgust me

  • Prochoicechuckles - the advertising bans really make me laugh. The antis are promoting cigarettes like never before with their stickers everywhere. It's free advertising for the tobacco companies, yet they're so blind to see it.

    I tell you, these people are from a different planet. They refuse to debate with proper scientists, yet continue to spout out 'scientific' studies.

    They are the government in disguise though. The gov't funds them to lobby MPs! Social-engineering at its best.

  • prochoicechuckles85: And don't forget Big Pharma who have made Billion out of NRT, they must pay as well.

  • The anti-smoking organisations should be made to pay for their contribution in destroying the global economy!! Not to mention motorsport with their pathetic advertising bans!!

  • helend498: Politicians,ASH and all the other Anti-Smoking organisations should be made to pay. The Anti-Smoking organisations should also be stripped of their CHARITY status.

  • exocet123 - re: "The Anti=Smoking organisations should also be stripped of their CHARITY status."

    AMEN!!! If Robert Wood Johnson Foundation was not getting a tax write off for every nico-patch it provided to ASH, GASP and NYQuits hotlines etc. this propaganda would dry up right quick! They are political LOBBYISTS, pure and simple! And profiting hugely by the "back door advertising" they promulgate. No other business would get away with the kind of heinous stuff antis use in their blitz.

  • Let's face it. ASH are now refusing to answer questions that they should be able to, they are diminished to pulp when interviewed by anyone who knows the truth, and now they are unable to hide behind their lies as official data supercedes their hysteria.

    Looks to me like ASH will be the scapegoat and not the oblivious MPs.

    They should all be held to account IMO

  • B7, How could ASH seriously debate? The shelters they want us to have OUTDIDE are not fit for pigs. They would rather the elderly die of hypothermia and the rest of us "dissenters" along with them. The antis are an insult to humanity. Remind me again why we are being punished, I keep forgetting!

  • Botswana7. ASH have always refused to have a live debate on the evidence that brought about the ban and the new evidence that F2C have.

  • Lets have a proper debate then the smoking ban can be consigned to the past.

  • I hope all the Anti's and Government Ministers are made to eat their words ( literally ). Shove it down their throats.

  • That time will soon come. And I'll be enjoying every minute of it

  • kindog101: So do I, every one of them in Court being fined millions and ordered to pay costs and compensation.I include all the Councils in that as well.

  • exocet123 ; That's good news but not enough to satisfy me. I want to see them held accountable for the damage they have caused to the economy, science and society in general!

  • Join freedom2choose and restore freedom and fairness for all. The ban will collapse, and the antis will be exposed for lying bigots they are. Join the winning side, f2c, for freedom lovers everywhere.

  • It's called " CENSORSHIP THROUGH SILENCE "

  • Havent been able to see any news/TV over past couple of days.....I'm assuming still nothing mentioned about this increase by scottish govt or ASH? No change there then, eh?

  • Or just plain lies.

  • ash(spit) must of had the chart upside down then,or room full of smoke.

  • kindog101: The writing is on the wall for the Anti's, in Scotland the following are no longer Ministers:- Jack McConnell,Andy Kerr,Lewis McDonald and from ASH Scotland Maureen Moore has gone. Rats deserting (or being thrown off )a sinking ship.

  • I'm surprised the anti-tobacco organisations haven't tried to 'spin' their way around these stats. Maybe they are starting to realise that there WILL BE a price to pay for deceiving the public and consistently lying to further their social control agenda!

  • I totally agree with you BarneyRubble.Censorship by Government decree.

  • I agree BarneyRubble. This news has been purposely ignored. The smoking ban was based on lies and the justification of it is based on lies. The truth is there in these official statistics, yet it is ignored

  • This is the news that is being purposely ignored by main line media, is it contradicts their zealous, twisted, warped propaganda!

    Well done, Hairy Chestnuts, for highlighting the point on YouTube!

  • This video is at NUMBER 4 - Most Discussed (This Week)-News & Politics. WELL DONE HAIRY.

  • It is time for both this Labour government and ASH to go,the only thing we get from them are LIES and made up stats,they should be ashamed of themselves,time for change.

  • Visit the Freedom2choose info website ,read the TRUTH and then JOIN the Worldwide fight against smoking bans.

  • The latest freedom2choose info Newsletter mentions the increase in heart attacks in Scotland and also the resistance to the smoking ban in Holland. Plus many more interesting things.

  • A " Class Action lawsuit " by all establishments that have lost money in the UK should be taken against ASH and the Government.

  • Well they're starting down that line already in the US, with the official complaints that have now been submitted. Can't wait to see who the scapegoat will be

  • All smoking bans have been based on LIES.When they are revoked those responsible for their introduction should be brought to account.

  • It's splashed all over the papers now about the pubs and hospitality trade in dire straits.

    That's another lie by ASH that has now been exposed - as well as this one, and the many others. How can they justify this ban, when it was based on lies by ASH et al.

    The papers blame the smoking ban, so do the punters. ASH said that it would be good for business - I don't think they live on this planet.

    They were wrong - yet again

  • helend498. The more these links to the video appear in Newspapers the more they will appear in a search engine such as google and the more people will see them.

  • That's good news. Will the editors take notice though! It appears that SHS is so much of a health hazard (compared to 900% rr of mobile phones that are used by kids everywhere) will always be the scapegoat.

    The anti-smokers are preventing research and funding into disease, and that is not right

  • The link to this video is now appearing in comments to various stories in Newspapers across the UK.

  • xyzto1: just read your comment over the levels of radon published by the WHO. I am gobsmacked! Can this government and the media not see that the anti-smoking lobbies are actually KILLING the citizens of the world. Words utterly fail me now.

    Anti-smokers have encouraged the switching off of ventilation systems as they see there is no need for them now. They are totally 'warped' and they disgust me.

  • The dam wall is definitely more than cracked now. We've had to be patient, but official statistics like this don't lie. They can't hide from this and neither can they spin or manipulate it.

  • When the TRUTH does come out they will be fighting like dogs to get the story.There is a crack in their dam wall and it won't be long before the dam wall bursts wide open.

  • You're not on your own there Exocet. There's millions fighting this ban, but yet again, the media won't highlight it.

  • I will NEVER give up fighting this SPITEFUL smoking ban.

  • Wilsontug: I get more angry when I see it as well. The lies used to push this law through, then the lies used to justify it, make my blood boil. There are people dying as a result of this ban; thousands are out of work because of it and thousands of business shut too. That's before we start mentioning broken communities etc.

    It stinks.

  • Censorship has probably reared it's ugly head.

  • I can't believe that even with the reward on offer for it to be released, we still have total silence

  • kindog101: Another consideration might be the advertising revenue that the Press and TV Stations receive from Big Pharma.

  • kindog101: It would be very easy for the Government to refuse to give their normal briefings to a particular newspaper if they went against Government policy.Owners and Editors are very careful about what they say.Not quite a "D Notice " but near enough.

  • Anyone have any idea why the press are not putting this story out? Are they frightened of going against the government and the anti-tobacco bullies or are they complicit in the deception?

  • Tug, The TRIAD of Government,Big Pharma and the Anti-Smoking lobby will be blown wide open as the news of their duplicity spreads.

  • Exocet,the more i watch this vid the more angry i become,how do these people get away with the lies and indeed the whole fraud of secondhand smoke,where are the Honest Newspaper writers,people should know about this scam by the Government and ASH and they should be held to account over it,and it is time the government funding of ASH was stopped,the taxpayer is paying for lies to be told.

  • You know, I never thought I'd be saying this of my 'old' party. I cannot, and never will, understand how they have back-stabbed those that voted them into power.

    Never again. This country is big enough to cater for everybody who participates in a sociable, legal activity.

  • They definitely will. They're up and ready for the next GE!

    They all know that a labour manifesto document is not worth the paper it is written on.

    We shall wait patiently and watch, as they try to squirm their way out of the mess that they themselves have created.

  • helend498: 15,000,000 smokers will make their votes count.

  • Exocet123.  I'm in agreement there. So is one of the founders of the anti-smoking as posted earlier. This experiment has now gone way too far.

  • We have a party in power that has funded a charity to lobby MPs with what they want to happen, and we have an opposition who doesn't oppose. Surely the opposition should be taking the correct and official data, which has been published, to question the party in power?

    Why have they not used this opportunity to oppose? That is what they are there for afterall.

  • The media are under Government control as far as the smoking ban is concerned,they print what they are told without questioning the content.

  • I forgot to say, no wonder that so many don't vote either.

    If the media don't print the news and official data, then I can understand why so many are apathetic. What's the point?

  • Exocet123. I know that. I can't understand why so many can't see it. Mind you, with the absence of these figures from the mainstream media, who can blame them?

    Total Media Censorship. No wonder the country's in the state it's in

  • helend498:The reason why the Government is spending hundreds of millions on smoking cessation is because the smoking ban isn't working the way the Anti's thought it would, ie reduce smoking.

  • Exocet123. I agree. People are definitely seeing through the lies. They're becoming so obvious and even backed up by official data, yet still the anti-smoking lobbies and government believe the lies!

    It appears that MPs only represent heavily funded bodies (funded by themselves). The public were left behind a long time ago (so they think!)

  • Continued:

    I think a few more waverers will be have reached tipping point with this one.

    You know, I think that their lies, just like the one in Phil's video, will eventually lead to a reform of the ban. They're becoming so outrageous and downright obvious. People have been ridiculing this all night, and rightly so! Do they all really think that we were born yesterday?

  • Have you heard the latest - smoking at least 6 months before getting pregnant can harm your baby! What happened to after (x) hours of smoking this happens, after (x) this does, and (x) this happens? etc - we've all had it drummed into us.

    Funny how they always forget to mention that after (x) number of months, you'll turn into an unsociable robot with no regard for other's lifestyle choices.

    I think a few more waverers will be have reached tipping point with this one.

  • The Anti-Smoking lobby have told so many lies that the people are seeing them for what they are.

  • xyzto1. You're right. In fact, I don't think they have any evidence of anything really. They have 'robotic' minds and thoughts and bleat out the same misinformation and lies, with no regard whatsoever to the public

  • xyzto1: Totally agree. Big Pharma,the Government and the Anti-Smoking lobby are all in it together.
