 Scotland: ASH Scotland looks for support from Scottish Government, as smoking rate remains static. Freedom to Choose (Scotland) Chairman Eddie Douthwaite said, “It is clear that the smoking ban in Scotland (now over four years old), the increase of the smoking age to 18, and relentless government anti-smoking propaganda have had very little effect on reducing the number of smokers.”
Ireland: Census and Anti Lies. By Simon Clark. That’s almost another half million people who took up smoking in three short years. And yet, we constantly hear that this hideous ban is a resounding success. Social occasions are routinely ruined, pubs are closing with job losses and, due to the enforced harsh treatment meted out to them, smokers choose to stay at home. Can anyone explain how this is deemed a success? Ireland: Pub Closures Caused By Smoking Ban – Report. John Mallon, spokesman Forest Eireann which represents smokers in Ireland, said, “The smoking ban has had a devastating impact on Ireland’s pubs. Instead of enjoying what should be a good night out with their friends, many smokers are choosing to stay at home. For the sake of our pubs and our local communities, the Government must relax the regulations so people can light up in a warm and comfortable environment twelve months a year. Pubs need smokers. That’s a fact that ministers cannot and must not ignore any longer.

CRE has called these illegal actions to the attention of FDA a number of times but FDA continues to act outside the law because they conclude that since the product in question is tobacco that the normal rules of fair play do not apply. Aging: Most Babies Born This Century Will Live to 100. The World Health Organization: WHO calls for smoking ban in private homes in Norway. In reviewing the country’s tobacco prevention work on behalf of the Norwegian Ministry of Health, the WHO concluded that more resources were needed for anti-smoking campaigns. |

 Watch the video: The World Health Organization. By Phil Williams The WHO has blown all our money promoting ineffective smoking cessation products and policies, rather than concentrate on their mandate of dealing with ill health in the third world. As a result, millions have died needlessly, yet the WHO still demands more money to continue its anti smoking agenda. |
