It always amuses me the way politicians show their concern about our health, but refuse to ban cigarettes outright. There's just too much at stake. Billions of dollars in revenues. How else can they fund all the wars around the world?

ReplyDeletegood news is smoking is banned at many places in China now especially EXPO period. (Bad news is where to smoke?) haha...
spot on. the people smoking are those who can least afford it. they cut down on veggies every time the tax goes up.
ReplyDeleteHypocritical...the American Government particularly. The problem with banning smoking in public places - defined as indoors vs. outdoors, is that the streets have become lethal. Everyone simply goes out and puffs on street corners and as they wander from A to B - not pleasant if you are within an XX radius.
ReplyDeletehmmmmmmmm.....well having lived in Indonesia the govt cannot ban cugarettes because it robs govt of revenue, employment, farming, factories and hurts other complimentary industry like the alcohol and medical .............
