Interesting article about smoking and individual liberty on Guardian Newsblog today. Its about time someone on the Liberal left started to see the deomisation of smoking for what it really is, not concern for our health but a sly attempt at sovial engineering. If they were concerned for our health they would bring in stronger employment laws to stop corporate mangers turning up the stress leveals til they break us and ban the toxic chemicals roiutinely put in our food by the same corporations.

Well they'd certainly stop refined sugar, agreed.
Individual liberties might include my right to go into a pub that doesn't sell food and have a Christmas champagne shandy without having to ingest huge billowing toxic volumes of asbestos-lethal fumes, half of which have already been in the decaying lungs of some other sucker?
Funniest thing was Ms Flint the "Health Minister" justifying this right to kill others proposal on C4 2nite.
