So it's not surprising that Guardian and its readers begin noticing the inequities and hatefulness of the smoking bans last, after everyone else has already woken up to them - since they are the original source of their infliction. It's like the monster they created coming back to bite them on their own backsides, at the end, with only themselves to blame.Jasonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-91727205764158719982012-10-15T13:58:15.144+01:002012-10-15T13:58:15.144+01:00I thought, and correct me if I am wrong, that Nico...I thought, and correct me if I am wrong, that Nicotine is water soluble?

I defy them to find people who are generally nonsmokers who could sit down and smoke 100 cigarettes in an hour, (or even TEN hours!) without barfing or worse. Obviously they're lying, and people should realize that while sometimes their lies are obvious, like this one, that they regularly lie about all sorts of things concerning secondhand smoke in order to support their smoking bans. Google "V.Gen5H" and read "The Lies Behind The Smoking Bans" you'll find there at the top. And then get angry about how you've been lied to and the harm it may have done to your lives and relationships in the process.<br />If you have any specific, substantive criticisms of anything in "The Lies..." please feel free to share them here. I promise I won't mind, and I'll try to stop back to respond.<br />- MJMMichael McFaddenhttp://profiles.google.com/cantilopernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-41701058562067016742012-10-15T05:19:04.249+01:002012-10-15T05:19:04.249+01:00In attacking a past time enjoyed by a Guardian fav...In attacking a past time enjoyed by a Guardian favoured group, they may just have gone too far...JuliaMhttp://twitter.com/AmbushPredatornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-85802743837416385252012-10-15T00:48:13.328+01:002012-10-15T00:48:13.328+01:00ASH get away with releasing vast amounts of bullsh...ASH get away with releasing vast amounts of bullshit don't they?

Modern shisha bars are quite trendy, and a way of younger people mixing together in a safe environment. <br />You know, like pubs used to be.<br />No-one's playing poker here. The tobacco control industry is fanatically obsessed in hunting down the last rebel, and as a pro-choicer I'm totally on the side of shisha users and retailers.
