This phrase is similar to the phrase, "a person who enjoys chocolate". But, there is no equivalent word for a person who enjoys chocolate (eg. 'chocolater') as there is with the word 'smoker'. The nearest that I can think of is 'chocaholic' - but that is an entirely different thing. <br /><br />'A person who enjoys tobacco' is a free person amusing himself in his own way. He is not 'A SMOKER!'Junicannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-56606957560008771312009-12-07T00:31:31.181+00:002009-12-07T00:31:31.181+00:00I heard this comment by AL on Question Time and al...I heard this comment by AL on Question Time and almost choked on my cup of tea.<br /><br />The man is a 100% hypocrite and so are his 'team'.<br /><br />Fair enough, he may have voted against the ban. He speaks for it now though as he has been indoctrinated into the PC correct and corrupt world of Westminster.<br /><br />What they think now is what I will vote on, not what they did in the past.<br /><br />AL and the tory leadership believe that the ban is wonderful. They believe the 17 and 40 figures that MSM embrace from the antis without question.<br /><br />If they are so weak and so naive to believe it without question, then they can stew as far as I'm concerned.<br /><br />They may get in at the next election, but they won't be there long if they refuse to listen to smokers, their partners, familes, friends, communties and businesses and favour the few hundred quangos instead.<br /><br />I'm aware that many are voting Tory for a 'liberalisation' from the control that the state currently holds. <br /><br />Personally, I'd go the full way and give the tories (as well as labour) a kick up the back-side and will vote BNP.<br /><br />Let me smoke in my club - and I'll be happy - BTW, I've never voted in my life, but will do this time.<br /><br />Working Class ManAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-34714198527439780502009-12-06T15:58:59.405+00:002009-12-06T15:58:59.405+00:00Lansley is an ignorant thick two faced cunt.

If we don't align ourselves as a group, then the politicians don't see that the blanket smoking ban excludes a minority. A person who smokes can justifiably be asked to leave premises if someone doesn't like what they do. A smokER being asked to leave for who they are is discrimination. <br /> <br /> I do agree, however, that something must be done to stop hate crimes against smokERs and equating them with murderers. That is what needs to change. SmokERs should not simply become people who like a smoke as much as other people like chocolate. That stance will lose us the argument that we have a right to be treated the same as everyone else.Pat Nurse MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591807335364002658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-63107457327372853282009-12-06T11:39:31.505+00:002009-12-06T11:39:31.505+00:00FD: Goes without saying in this political climate,...FD: Goes without saying in this political climate, unfortunately.<br /><br />MW: I think, subconsciously, it probably was, yes. :-(<br /><br />Anon @ 20:43: <em>"What I'd like to see is an AGW- sceptic, anti-ban investigative journalist highlight, in the MSM, the parallels in dodgy 'science' and MO."</em><br /><br />I think we will be waiting a long time for that.

The word 'smoker' has similar connotations to the word 'murderer' or 'killer'. We must stop using the word 'smoker' in our blogs. We must use the words 'a person who enjoys tobacco'. This can be shortened to the acronym PET - a Person who Enjoys Tobacco. The plural is PETS - People who Enjoy Tobacco. In that way, the nastiness conjured up by the word ASH can be countermanded by the softness of the word PET. <br /><br />It is a small thing, but we know how important soundbites are - think of 'SMOKEFREE ENGLAND!' Doesn't that phrase have a resounding character?<br /><br />As regards Lansley, he is just like all the other politicians - a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal - not to be seriously believed.Junicannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-48688811582792082772009-12-06T01:43:21.438+00:002009-12-06T01:43:21.438+00:00The only one who spoke honestly was the Moslem cha...The only one who spoke honestly was the Moslem chap from Slough @5:00.<br />Andrew was wrong in fact when he stated that UK was " a much more diverse society than Switzerland ".
