Prisoning

[Uma]

Here's a new one. Imprisoning smokers, and of course Vapers because vaping is lumped up with smoking.
Prison for Smokers, Permits for Strippers! (Nanny of the Month, Jan '13) - Reason.com

Anybody who has ever seen war time documentaries on Japan, Germany, will know what they do to prisoners, especially the propagandized hated ones.

If they put someone in a non-smoking prison and they can no longer smoke, and are therefore non- smokers, do they let them right back out??

This is a great idea considering how well prohibition worked every time in the history of the modern world. I expect to see great results from a bill such as this. (Sarcasm, if it was not obvious)

Thank our lucky stars that's one of the ones that died. Thanks Ania!

Ever since the early 1600's, big Pharma has been trying to control tobacco. They ignored it throughout the 1500's until Montaris(sp) published his book about the benefits of tobacco. Until then, it was rumor & witches tales I guess. Too many people healing without big Pharma, because shortly after, big Pharma (called "physicians") began crusading the evils of tobacco. Doctors were fine with it, but physicians were upset. History just keeps repeating over & over...

What led me to that, was I was looking for when the gov began handing out free cigs to soldiers (1943?) ... and when they began taxing severely, then banning them (2007?) ... kind of like an entrapment thing going on, when people's homes are at stake... just curious about relative happenings & how they interrelate around the world.

Surprise surprise, all of these are on the to ban list http://www.brown.edu/Facilities/John_Carter_Brown_Library/drugs/pages/pleasure.html

Steve! Where you been! I've missed my favorite antagonizer. Honest. You always provoke a person to question for bias. I like honesty, not bias, & sometime I get caught up being biased just like the best of us. I hope you have a Happy New Year, & mine even happier.

Same to you.

Just returned from a week in the free-vape zone, known as vaper's paradise, AKA Prague, CZ. Vaped everywhere, openly.

Big Tobacco was never going to let that happen. It only took a year to finally become gossip! Lol.

Oh my, that must have felt like paradise. I hope the rest of your visit was just as wonderful too. And I'm glad it was this year, cuz we both agree mine should be happiest next year. .

It was fantastic, thanks. Always tough coming back. Already planning the July trip. I always asked in non-smoking restaurants if vaping was allowed and was always told something to the effect of, 'Of course, it isn't smoking.' Even in taxis, the airport, castle... You plan on going next year? Let me know, I can give you a lot of tips. I'm basically an honorary citizen... You wouldn't believe the amount of people I saw vaping. They get it...

Good for you, I'm so glad your visit was fantastic in each way. I envy you. I'm just an armchair tourists, but if I could muster a trip, that would definitely be on my itenerary. I'll keep your offer in bookmarks, thanks! I hope your next trip is just as wonderful.
