Smoking
Is Healthier Than Fascism
Smoking
Ban Is About Government Control; Believe it or not, the state really
doesn't care about your health

The regulation of the personal habit of smoking, including new legislative
moves in San Francisco to ban cigarettes in private homes, and its
enforcement by an eager cadre of state snoops and snitches, represents
nothing more than a move on behalf of big brother towards the complete
subjugation and shackling of the individual. To this end, smoking
is healthier than fascism.
Two new developments today have once again brought this issue into
focus and the true agenda behind it needs to be exposed.
In France, a nation once noted as being rich in tobacco connoisseurs,
175,000 "cigarette police" have been given the task of
randomly snooping around offices, schools, factories and any other
"public spaces" in order to sniff out flouters of a new
total ban on smoking.
In San Francisco California, a city ordinance described as "the
most stringent tobacco regulation in America" would ban smoking
everywhere, including private homes and apartments, sparing only
large detached family homes - and if they squeeze this one through
expect those homes to be targeted next.
This is not a debate about the dangers of passive smoking, we all
know smoking is bad for us and those around us. On an individual
level, freedom includes the right to do dumb things and whether
others should be subject to our vices comes down to two questions,
is fascism more unhealthy for a society than passive smoking and
does the government really care about your health?
Dare I suggest that western governments raining down depleted uranium
in all corners of the world, spraying chemtrails in our skies, playing
Dr. Frankenstein with our food, drugging us into oblivion with psychotropic
poison pills, shooting x-rays to expose our naked bodies, and injecting
us with toxic vaccines really care about our physical well-being?
Do an elite that openly advocate culling the majority of the world's
population really want to put a stop to cancer?
The answer is no, so why the transatlantic obsession to have us
stub out our cigarettes?
It's all about control, it's all about letting you know who the
bosses are. If the government can regulate personal habits and behavior,
what's next? If the state is so concerned about our good health
as they would have you believe, why not use the latest scientific
advancements to remove that nasty aggressive gene that causes so
much unhappiness? Well, you're causing those around you distress
and harming their health so why not? Are your political opinions
a mental illness? Are they harming society? Perhaps we should ban
certain types of "free" speech that is offensive to others.
You see where this is all heading - how long before our wall mounted
personal x-ray body scanners are accompanied by special smoke detectors
that inform on you to the local Stasi if you dare to light up?
Smoking may be very unhealthy but I'd certainly rather be around
a bunch of smokers than a bunch of Fascists.
If you have never smoked and couldn't give a damn if it gets banned
then consider the fact that cell phones are emerging as the new
kid on the bloc as far as cancer's best friend goes. British expert
Professor Lawrie Challis said last week that mobile phones could
turn out to be as harmful as cigarettes. How would you react if
the government suddenly announced that your Blackberry was off limits
because the anti-cell phone lobby got a bill through?
We live in a paranoid world overpopulated by ninnying jellyfish
who dare not dip their toe in the water in case there's a law against
it, it might upset someone, or it might be bad for their health.
Writer Alan Caruba adds the following, "There are few, if any,
people that do not know there is an element of risk involved in
the decision to smoke. There is risk involved when any American
gets into his car and goes anywhere."
"Driving kills over 40,000 Americans every year. It is the
price we pay for the mobility and other benefits cars and vehicles
provide. There is, in fact, risk in every human activity including
the enjoyment of alcoholic beverages and even the simple act of
eating."
Here are some more examples of fascism being unhealthier than smoking.
- In Omaha Nebraska, city police are encouraging residents to call
911 if they see a smoker in a non-smoking area. So when your wife
is being raped by an illegal immigrant or a gang banger, be assured
that the cops have a good reason for their absence - Joe Bloggs
just lit up a Marlboro and he's going to get Tasered.
- Bangor City Council approved a measure that criminalizes smoking
in your own car with a child present.
- In Okemos Michigan, an insurance business boss ordered all his
employees to take urine tests to determine if they had smoked, even
in their own homes. Smokers were warned that they would be fired.
- In New York, Mayor Bloomberg's tobacco stormtroopers raided the
offices of Vanity Fair no less than three times, attempting to catch
noted journalist Graydon Carter smoking. All they found was an unused
clean ash tray but Carter was fined and given a warning nonetheless.
Numerous other instances of infamous "ash tray raids"
have occurred in New York City.
- In Scotland, social services are drawing up a master list of smokers
and warning residents against smoking in their own homes unless
they wish to risk being cut off from government services.
Many of the people reading this will have had relatives die directly
due to smoking. I am not advocating smoking, I am simply advocating
the fact that I'd rather live in a society of smokers than a society
of control freak fascists who slavishly seize upon any action of
the individual in order to create yet another pretext for creating
a Stasi system of informants, locking us all up and building the
infrastructure of the prison planet.
