Last smoking day in Holland
-
well, there is the perfect solution for all the poor, discriminated smokers!
a hightech cigaret, that simulates the smoke of tobacco without emmiting second hand smoke.
"...stainless steel shell, lithium battery, micro-electric circuit, atomizing chamber and an indicator light..."
the only thing they have to add is a little speaker that simulates the crackling noise of burning tobacco when taking a deep drag...
shit, after more than two decades of abstinence I am seriously tempted to start smoking!!!

suicide? -
...and blow vast amounts of money, all from the comfort of your smoke filled living room.
-
If we are not allowed to have that little puff once and a while, I suggest we sue all our governments for allowing diesel (gasoline) as car fuel to exist while they are making a lot of money on it through taxes...

Dang!!!
I smoke one Camel at a time, not the entire herd.

Jakob, thanks for the link. If Supercig does what it says it will be
a big seller as most smokers really don't want to upset non smokers
or cause them harm. I tried a product recently that also worked as
a cigarette replacement, NicoGel. While it satisfied the urge it did
not satisfy the 'comfort /freely' thing!I have a friend (smoker) that has developed an intriguing argument
with regard to tobacco companies and governments. Tobacco companies
place heath warnings on the product and one smokes knowing this
risk. Seemingly these companies have for filled their legal obligations
and are entitled to their profits, fair play!My friend argues that governments ALSO enjoy profits from these sales
by way of taxes! And I would add, very heavy taxes in this country
and the UK. In fact they make more per pack than the actual tobacco
companies, well over two times as much!The argument goes that the governments are NOT living up to their
responsibilities as they are FULLY aware of the damage tobacco is
causing yet at the same time they are allowing it to continue AND
profiting from it. He thinks he has a good case to sue the government
if he falls into bad health for tobacco use!It would be interesting to see what kind of case a government would
put up if sued. Would they argue that they could not have helped to
prevent the illness?Mike

The government doesnt really profit, as such, as the money goes entirely in to public services and general country related spending. And surely if this tax didnt exist it would just encourage more people to smoke by making the habit far cheaper.

Remus, I think if every smoker stopped in the morning their
would be a lot of governments scratching their heads and
wondering how they can fill the big hole in their finances,
and I mean a BIG hole!Mike

Permission to smoke? That’ll be £10
