Poroshenko: Ukraine 'close to point of no return'
Baroness Ashton said there was "deep concern" over "direct aggression by Russian forces". She called on Russia to stop the flow of arms, equipment and personnel into Ukraine.
As she arrived at the talks in Brussels, Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite said Russia was "practically in a war against Europe".
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said the EU faced "a completely unacceptable situation of having Russian troops on Ukrainian soil. Consequences must follow if that situation continues".
French President Francois Hollande said the Ukraine crisis was the biggest since the end of the Cold War.
He said: "What's happening in Ukraine is so serious that the European Council will be obliged to react by increasing the level of sanctions if things remain as they are."MH17 crash: John Alder's body identified

Variations on the WHO graphic seem to be doing the rounds.
Here’s one from Siegel’s blog a few years ago.
An update on the Tobacco Control specialist, Public Health advocate, and glorified mechanic, Stan Glantz. Here he is inspiring people with his “healthful”, antismoking presence. Not only is Stan mentally addled; he’s neurotic, dishonest, bigoted, narcissistic, greedy, and a petty tyrant. But, even
physically, Stan is a blimp. I know, I know. He’s lost half a pound over the
last 20 years. But, really, it’s not good enough.

Bad news?
Oh I dunno?
At least in Putin's Europe you'd be able to smoke in a bar.
Dont bank on the Slavs(Russians) putting up a fight against any bans, their chicken livered smokers will cringe in frozen alleys and ice laden sheds just like the West European pansies and popsies who fester in doorways and behind wheely bins, not a decent pair of bollocks between them.

As Nisakiman says, Russia has recently imposed smoking ban restrictions just about everywhere. This is why the WHO are holding their meeting in Moscow, to reward Putin and his country for their fascism. ;)
