"When you're throwin' your weight around,
be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else."
- Will Rogers |  The Aldebaran Treaty. By John Gray. The International Coalition Against Prohibition. As representatives of European and transatlantic nations and organisations we are now bound in solidarity against smoking bans and the so many other damaging prohibitions that are lucrative and fashionable in today's world of scientific fraud and political stupidity, where adults are treated as children, and freedom of choice is under threat.
An Interview With Dr. Shepard, Co-Fabricator of the Helena Study. By Tony Masset. Shepard was admitting that the 60% number came from a “quasi-study.” In other words, an imitation study, something that resembled a study, but was not a real study. What does this say about his integrity?
Snuff Out Cigarettes? Crusade to ban outdoor smoking is motivated by tobacco scorn, not science. By Michael J. McFadden. If there really was a significant threat from exposure to secondary smoke in well-ventilated spaces or outdoor spaces -- a threat even mildly approaching that posed by asbestos, tainted food or ignored fire codes -- it might be proper for the heavy hand of government to weigh in. However, there is no such threat, at least none soundly demonstrated by scientific fact as opposed to press-release hype.

May 3, 2008
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |
Death by Smoking Ban. By Edmund Contoski. In order to get smoking bans passed, it was necessary to create an atmosphere of hatred toward the “enemy,” to work people into a frenzy over a threat to their health, whether the threat was real or not. What mattered was not truth or science but whether the desired result—smoking bans—could be achieved.

In their world of "the end justifies the means", anti-tobacco groups in Canada have felt it increasingly necessary to use kids in their attempt to manipulate public perception, create public outrage and force governments to over-regulate tobacco products.

"Be as beneficent as the sun or the sea,
but if your rights as a rational being are trenched on,
die on the first inch of your territory."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson |  Hawaii State Update. Do not lose hope, we are far from over in this battle between their personal preferences (the anti's) and our inherent Rights as citizens of this great country. Millions are waking up to the fact that these laws were passed in a disingenuous manner.
Use Reason. By Charley Reese. I got aggravated once some years ago by a reporter who always referred to a pesticide as "cancer-causing." Sunshine and many common substances can cause cancer. The thing to remember is that when we talk of toxicity of chemicals or carcinogens, amount is the key. We can't live without salt, for example, but too much salt will kill us. Aspirin is a great pain reliever; too much will kill us. You can probably think of many examples yourself.

Fuming Over Cigarette Tax. Should smokes cost $6 a pack?

 Obama is Smokin' While Barack Obama seems to have exaggerated his illegal drug use, he has at the same time underreported his use of a legal (for now) drug: tobacco. On MSNBC's Hardball last night, ABC correspondent Jake Tapper notes, Obama admitted that he snuck a cigarette here and there after he officially quit in February 2007. Yet when Tapper ran into a smoky-smelling Obama at the Capitol last August, the senator's campaign insisted, even after consulting with him, that he hadn't smoked at all in months.

"Buyer should be aware that 'CELL' is a violent piece of work,
which comes complete with zombies set in motion by bad cell
phone signals that destroy the human brain."
- Stephen King |  Mobile phones more dangerous than smoking. Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take "immediate steps" to reduce exposure to their radiation.

“Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive”
- Sir Walter Scott |  American Lung Association Deceives Constituents in Promoting FDA Tobacco Legislation. By Michael Siegel. So it's no surprise that the American Lung Association has joined the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and the American Cancer Society in being dishonest and deceptive about the FDA legislation. This appears to be their only choice if they don't want the public's perception of the bill as one that protects public health to come crumbling to the ground. But it still doesn't make it right to deceive the public.
Health Dangers: Michael Fumento, an author and lawyer who specializes in science and health issues, is among many people who say the surgeon general's report relied on previous science that was flawed because of research techniques.
Tobacco Controls Spreading, Anti-Smoking Groups Say. Gary Nolan, United States Regional Director of The Smoker's Club, said the use of allegedly fraudulent second-hand smoke statistics had hoodwinked the public into supporting tobacco bans and taxes. "You tell a lie long enough, as the old Nazi saying goes, and people will believe it," he said.
Retailers Stepping Up Tobacco Lobbying Efforts. Lacking a big-picture perspective, some states are increasing taxes on cigarettes, States are effectively cutting their own throats by continually hiking excise taxes on tobacco products–chasing away revenue, encouraging criminal behavior and unfairly penalizing smokers and retailers–and it’s up to the c-store industry to help them understand that.
