In the UK, the only people to be legally persecuted are smokers. Already here in certain areas (if not across the board) you are not allowed to foster children.
Every night we are bombarded with adverts, usually with some young child in it, with a pen or a pencil pretending to smoke - the message being "think about the children".
Already here, if you smoke you are debarred from some medical procedures, the same if you are overweight. Non-smokers get jobs in preference to smokers, indeed many smokers have ended up being sacked from their jobs. If any other section of the community were treated in this vindictive way, the full force of the law would be brought down on the perpetrators. However, if you are a smoker, the law comes down hard on you. People have been beat up in the street, one case last year involved a man who was waiting for a bus, enjoying a ciggie. The man behind asked him to put out the cigarette. The man carried on smoking so the other man beat him so badly, he was put in hospital. The man who smoked happened to be profoundly DEAF and didn't hear what was said to him. No-one was ever caught for the assault - surprise, surprise.
Unfortunately, Ireland got the smoking ban and everyone else followed. No doubt the same thing will happen again - except the present government is on it's way out. They are hated in this country for what they've done to the British people (and not only the smoking ban but many other things too) so we hope the next government will be more tolerant.
As an aside, the BMA (British Medical Association) finally let their true agenda out of the bag at the weekend. They want a complete and total ban on all
tobacco products within the next 20 years. In other words, complete prohibition. This from the arrogant medical profession who preside over the filthiest hospitals in the western world.
This is why I keep harping on about Freedom2Choose. We really need a world-wide backlash against these health fascists.
