After the smoking ban in cars with children inside was passed by the House of Commons. To meet the accusation that the home is not the next “logical step ” for tobacco control, Deborah Arnott on the 11th February 2014 said “A ban in homes is not feasible or right” adding:
“If you ban it a lot of the levers you use to stop uptake you lose. You can’t tax it, you can’t stop under-age sales. What we want to do is to do everything to discourage it.”
Clive Bates, director of anti-smoking group ASH, said in 1998: “This is a scaremongering story by a tobacco industry front group. “No-one is seriously talking about a complete ban on smoking in pubs and restaurants.”

ASH do not have the best of reputations for honesty but when ASH do call for house bans at least we have it in black and white.

Banning smoking in homes doesn’t mean banning it entirely, as you could still smoke in the garden, so that argument doesn’t wash.
It will come in as a cloud no bigger than a man’s hand, with a handful of social landlords imposing non-smoking tenancy agreements in new-build flats.
Hypothetically how long would it take a passive smoker to die in the confines of a car with 5 chain smokers?
I don’t have the answer but an educated guess donkeys years.
Now how long would it take the passive smoker to die if somebody put a hose attached to the car exhaust pipe in through the car window?
Yes a matter of minutes!.
The irony of the story is that car exhausts are lethal while passive cigarette smoke can be classed as no more than a minor irritant..
Yet smokers are treated like walking Chernobyls?.
It’s almost… as if… it’s not really about health.
Roflmao
And now Clive Bates is the favourite anti of some who should know better.
Not unrelated – Vapeland seems to have been very quiet re the car ban; it’s almost as if they think this wouldn’t/won’t affect them. When they find it will, no doubt they’ll be asking libertarians to sign yet another petition.
.
As we can all see the END GAME is to first ban car smoking and then follow it up with a ban in the homes,likely using the children for this purpose yet again. Then if they can get their final smoking rates at a certain level tobacco control plans on pushing the government for OUT RIGHT PROHIBITION ON TOBACCO PRODUCTS!

I’m sure the gov’t also understands the power of suggestion. Just look at proganda and the “citizen turned consumer” crap. If smokers truly believe it will most likely give them cancer or kill them, it likely will. Gov’t knows about the strength of belief and suggestion. Another way to cut population per the Georgia Guidestone guidelines? I hate that I now but nothing, n o t h i n g past govt and their alphabet soup snoops.
Yes! Finally someone writes about superlight.
