If anyone wants to help they can donate here; Freedom To Choose

And please don??t say you will do it later, as I used to be like that, that way things never get done, and please do it right now, if you value your freedom and what to stop this dictatorship.

In one way I am here to advertise, as we are all smokers of tobacco, and I don??t think there is anyone here who likes to be told what to do with their lives, and that is exactly what the Government is trying to do. I mean in some, (only some mind you) US states, you can??t smoke in parks, beaches, you have to be ten meters away from all public places, and this will happen here, as who though ten to twenty years ago smoking would be banned in pubs, and cannabis would be legal in the UK, if you said that in a pub them many years ago they would look at you daft, now look what someone is saying for the year 2008, and this time I am not laughing.

It??s not going to stop at smoking;

Three drinks and you're out: the pub rationing plan

ONE of Britain??s leading surgeons has called on the government to introduce curbs on the sale of alcohol, limiting the amount that customers can consume per visit to a pub or bar. Next will be how much and what foods you eat.

John Smith, president of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, believes that such restrictions would be the logical next step to improving the nation??s health following the ban on smoking in public buildings.

Smith believes regulations in Britain could save lives while cutting alcohol-related illnesses and violent crime.

??The legislation to ban smoking in public places is very welcome and a big step forward. The logical thing to recognise now is that smoking is bad for you, as is alcohol,? he said.

??Should we now limit the amount of drink that can be served in pubs? If, as a nation, we are serious about trying to prevent illnesses associated with social habits, then this is something that must be considered seriously.

??I think for a government to follow the American model of saying, for the benefit of each patron, we will provide two drinks only, would be very interesting to look at.?
We all would need an ID card, and it would me marked, so if you had two drinks in one bar, you would not be able to have anymore in another bar.

Restrictions already operate in some American states. The city council in Santa Monica, California, has powers to impose a two-drink ban in bars while voluntary schemes operate in Virginia, Oregon and Massachusetts.

Last week the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (Nice), which advises on the cost effectiveness of providing treatment on the National Health Service, said patients who endangered their health by smoking, gross overeating or heavy drinking should be denied medical treatment.

Currently guidelines recommend that men should drink no more than three units a day, which is the equivalent of two pints of beer, two glasses of wine or three measures of spirits. Women are advised to drink no more than two units.

Smith, who hopes his views will become the college??s policy, said that it was up to ministers to decide on the practicalities of a ban.

??I realise that not everyone is likely to agree with this and there will be those who will claim it would be another example of the nanny state,? he said.

??I also realise that the implications commercially for hotels and publicans would be huge, because we all know that they make a lot of their money through mark-ups on drink. But it is the logical follow-up to banning smoking in pubs and other public places. As a wine lover I would be prepared to lead by example.?

Please all we want is separate smoking rooms with ventilation and filtration, it??s fair, non-biased, and the best all round situation, so anyone like to donate ??? Or are you one of the nanny state lovers, however if you do support this ban, we all have a right to our opinions.
