re: the lies about smoking bans

What a load of facist tyrannical garbage: if you want to smoke you should be allowed to, it's nobody else's business if you do, and there's plenty of much more toxic and poisonous products on sale in every high street store in the UK and every other country.

Do you also buy 100% organic and vegan food, clothes, cosmetics, household products, building products, and walk / cycle everywhere, avoiding all electromagnetic emitting products, while you aren't smoking? And if so - how do you afford that without having a job that contributes plenty of misery to others and the planet? You don't know what you are talking about.

I've had the pleasure of smoking the finest Bhutanese temple-made hash, in free-thinking utopian liberated Amsterdam coffeeshops - & your no-smoking world is frankly a total nightmare of draconian proportions that nobody sane would ever want to live in.

Autocracy: Formerly. Bad: Not necessarily.

The ruling party / monarchy did seem to have their citizens' / subjects' best interests at heart some of the time. They banned smoking completely, 3 years ago. The sale and distribution now draws heavy fines and imprisonment. For any country, this is a good thing ... but for a small, impoverished nation with limited public funds for healthcare (or anything else), this is incredibly wise and beneficial.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
