It is a terrible no-no to smoke in
 now.... there is no advertising allowed, no sport sponsorship. There are ads on TV to quit, in the shops, cigarettes are not to be seen (in cupboards or behind curtains) it is illegal to smoke in any public place/park/building.... it is illegal to smoke in a car with children in it, no smoking on busses, trains, cabs, planes.... no smoking withing 25'of building doorways yadda yadda... they advertise alcohol and betting on tv, newspaper, sponsorship... but, oh "please gamble/drink responsibly"  \I am a non smoker, but I believe that either they also ban other advertising for things that cause death/bad health...like alcohol, gambling, junk food, sugar drinks.... either ban them all or let smokers be.... every time there is a stink (pun intended) about cigarettes, that is better advertising to get children to want to take it up, than money could buy...   What people don't realise, is the gubbamint has to be seen to do something because they know how deadly smoking is.... however, they need the revenue from tobacco.... they have budgeted for that money.... now they don't get tax from sports advertising dollar... cigarettes go up $, less people are smoking, so less revenue.... cigarettes go up$ to make up for the shortfall That is why the subject comes up on the news/media.... to try to entice anyone back to smoking when revenue drops too much.... who mentions tobacco in the media? The gubby of course Either ban advertising on all, or let smokers be! They advertise alcohol.... booze kills NOW, the driver and the innocent family he kills.... a smoker kills himself over a period of time.... which is worse? Which deserves to be banned more urgently?    _________________ I do all of my own stunts..... most of them are even planned! Ok, Ok.... some of them are planned..

Gabor wrote: Yeah it is a nasty habit. I remember saying things like "got to die from something" and "I love smoking" and such. Meanwhile I was trying to mask my own weakness of kicking the habit. I had a serious dependency on that crap. I have never done any drugs in my life not even pot. I don't know what it smells like or anything. I had figured if cigarettes that makes you sick when you try them first can become so hard to quit imagine if it makes you feel good how hard that must be to stop?! So I just stayed away from all the rest. Glad I am smoke free. It was tough to quit. Really tough....  We are all wonderfully unique creatures.... I had no problems doing POT and leaving it alone... could regulate it easily. Now cigs... not so. Bottom line.... glad I am NOT doing any of thos things anymore... Now if I could just shake the addiction to online forums...  _________________ John Morgan PP-SEL Former member PRA Member PeachState Rotorcraft club Member Sunstate Rotor & Wing Club Owner/builder of The Subinator: Single place Dominator/Subaru EA-81 (currently in full restoration) Soon to offer machine shop services |
