The Humorous
While travelling through the sinister pictures of the anti-smoking agenda, it is time for some fun. Let us browse through this section to see what level of stupidity the antis' can reach! We hope you enjoy it. While having a good time, just keep in mind one thing: what is funny when it is happening to others, may not be so
amusing when it happens to you! Make no mistake: the anti-smoking zealots plan to be at your doorstep within three years! ("Canada smoke-free 2000")
FOR A LITTLE BIT OF LEVITY... Sometimes, the zealotry of the antismokers exceeds their own stupidity, especially when administrators are involved, and that's fun! Come inside and have a good time!
LINK BETWEEN H.I.V. AND TOBACCO FOUND! In the Bay area of San Francisco, the anti-smoking industry seems to have found yet another link between tobacco and some illness!
" The issue of tobacco advertising is strongly linked to the issue of H.I.V. and breast cancer", says the ad in dubious language, while praising a few local businesses who have "voluntarily agreed" to reduce the amount of tobacco advertising in their stores. What would you do if you tried to keep your business afloat while under psychological duresse?
Of course, the ad is paid with the tobacco tax extorted from smokers to run a campaign against them! To view the document, click on the icon. When done, click on the "back" button of your viewer.
THEATER OF THE ABSURD. In Boulder, CO, smoking has been banned in all public buildings, including
the Boulder Dinner Theatre where a production of the Broadway musical "Grand Hotel" includes a
one-minute scene where a couple of characters smoke. After an irate patron called the cops, the owner
of the theatre was ordered to cut the scene or face 90 days in jail and a $1000 fine. The copyright law,
however, forbids him to alter the scene at risk of civil litigation. "It's so funny," said the copyright owner
of the play. "In these censorious times, everyone goes home and sits around the dinner table and talks
about how great it is to live in a free country." (Phila. Inquirer 4/28/96) [Courtesy of Linda Stewart]
SONG FOR THE NEW PROHIBITIONISM. A lady reader with talent, and a keen sense of humour sends us this song, to the tune of "John Brown's Body". Post it at your home or business, or sing it with your friends, maybe in a nonsmoking pub, or during a nonsmoking flight!
I DIDN'T DO IT!
In Farmingdale, NY, a man fell into a water tank, breaking a lot of bones. In mental as well as
physical extremis for half an afternoon as rescuers tried to get to him, he pleaded with a
Johnny-on-the-spot paramedic to give him a cigarette. As the paramedic boasted to ABC News,
"Of course, I didn't do it." (ABC-TV "Eyewitness News," 2/12/96)
