I'm a nurse...What complete and utter b*ll*cks!<br /><br />I'm a nurse. I've actually read the research and guess what? Yep, the incidence of both Alzheimers and Parkinsons is, and I quote, "significantly reduced by smoking". This is something that has been in the text-books for years (admittedly hidden in small print and disguised in diagrams and charts after all we don't want those poor dears 'the patients' to know the truth). <br /><br />So what we have here is a journalist taking the facts and presenting them 'ar*e about face' to support some PC/healthist agenda- Oh? nothing new there then!Ablenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-22393179019917072132012-02-08T14:31:13.114+00:002012-02-08T14:31:13.114+00:00Is it already?

Can get quite batty. Here in Victoria tobacconists are exempted (for the time being) because what the fuck does anyone expect to see in a tobacconists. In Canberra they're not, so even if they've got the bloody doors shut and won't let kids in they're still not allowed to display their stock.

Obviously those with terminal lung cancer are a<br />burden, but then those people will be a burden whatever eventually kills them<br />off. Thus the NET BURDEN on the NHS from smokers could be zero.

T..."Really, this has been well known..." The "Really" is a kind of snobbish remark, implying the commentator is saavy, up on all the propaganda and a true oh-so-believer, a public display of being among the most faithful, hip, cool, knows all the correct slogans to mindlessly repeat by rote, no matter if it harms someone else's freedom, liberty or causes grievous pain. "This has been well known" is the bullsh*t part where they just say the words they've heard repetitively by way of indoctrinating propaganda, a cliche choice of words to make the illusion of sophisticiation and worldliness, even if of the pseudo sort, as if the commentator is so highly intelligent he/she can hardly keep it bottled up inside and their depth of knowledge on anti-smoking platitudes places him/her socially in the same high echelon of society as are anti-smoking professionals. It's utterance of a status symbol, to be anti-smoking and repeat cliche anti-smoking propaganda points mindlessly is to be hip, a real intellectual that one is.Thomasnoreply@blogger.com
