Quebec Vaping Regulations Stifle Free Speech

[Postmodern Smoking]

Unbelievable! link

Am glad in a way I didn't accept a job there...I was worried about the French effect then (80's).

What an earth is with these people?

[Bob]

Unbelieveable, the world has gone Antz mad

Just goes to show what really makes the world go round. Now you have to think to yourself if all these Governments can behave like this against their populous, what else are they up to?

Follow the money, honey.

We live in a financial system that needs the public to be paying for everything including the big houses, flash cars and security for life.

NEVER about health, its all about the money.

Nothing will ever make me for one second consider this to be other than a way to prevent smokers moving to vaping

To make the vaping experience so ******* naff and cumbersome that smokers, will go back to the ciggies as they work for what they are supposed to do.

When you smoke, you rarely consider the end game.

They must have a cycle of new smokers to replace those they killed with the smoking, but if these actually like vaping, they LOSE at all ends.

Lets see your tax in action.

You have £100 out of your wages, that you have already paid tax on BTW...so this is your £100 now eh....no lets tax it a bit more.

The AA reports that a staggering 85% of the cost of petrol is pure tax.

Your meal and cinema tickets will have been taxed at 20% VAT, adding another £4.60 to the Government’s purse.

Around 35% of the cost of alcohol is tax so your £9 round of drinks has automatically added £3.15 to your growing tax bill.

But what about that £7 packet of cigarettes you just purchased? Those 20 cigarettes are actually worth a miniscule 77p, because the tax you pay on them is an astonishing 88.9%.

No real surprise the Government doesn’t really want smokers to quit given they’re such a cash cow for them.

So if you are a standard rate tax payer, so far £64.88 of your £100 has been paid to the government in tax.

And thats why ecigs are on the hit list....MONEY and BIG MONEY world wide.

We as free countries owe the few bankers in the world that much money we could never pay them back, in fact we spend billions and billions just paying them interest? The US owe trillions and Canada is $1.2 trillion dollars in debt. So we cannot afford to pay the banks just the interest, so they add any outstanding interest to the principle loan and we then owe more and pay more interest.

your missing a bigger portion of why tobacco smoking has been such a good thing for the world in the last 70 years, there hasn't been a major armed conflict in that time as the death rate to various diseases has prevented populations from reaching the critical mass necessary to require expansion, something that's always been done through armed conflict and attrition in the past, the taxation (method of control over the masses) has been used to force various things into being o force various things into non existence, electric cars were around fully a decade before oil burners arrived, however it was the latter that garnered the greatest pollution (population control) and simplest route to implement taxation so the electric car was squashed by various preassure groups (the biggest of which was the tax lobby) and now the electronic devices like the personal vapouriser are getting similar treatment as there effects are starting to show through (loss of population growth controls and loss of control over the plebs though lack of taxation)

doubtless we will see several countries (likely China and the Americas) implement an outright ban on E.N.D.S in the coming months (probably with a related release of some new non scientific discovery about child malformations and addiction) and maybe we will get lucky and the UK will actually let us stay legal .....

its not just about money, although I don't doubt the money side is a large factor, the majority of the worlds poorest people smoke and they remain poor regardless of what opportunities come their way becase of ever spirlaing taxation being added onto tobacco, so much so that it will soon be more than a days wages per pack .....

[yahoo2u2]

Yes, its true that we have not had a major cull of the male populations like the 1st and 2nd world wars and all those before. And much of this decrease in death rates are also adding to the burden on a number of levels, these being to name a few:-

Land and homes
Care
NHS services
Local government services
etc etc

The later generations are going to face hell on earth and our generations are going to let this happen.

causing those poor people to buy on the black market and suffer at the hands of unscrupulous dealers in tobacco & cigarettes that are contaminated with even worse chemicals

and I agree with everything you said, world populations are growing as people live longer due to not smoking & advances in medicine, so it's either another war (middle east??) or find another way to kill us off

[yahoo2u2]

I may be a bit jaded now, but it does seem that we are a drain on resources as we get past the paying in stage. But although the wars seems like a way forward, it also costs as we have to borrow to fund any war. Thats why we have a national debt that is based on funding war machines.

Rothchilds worth 500 trillion and growing. Yet we never hear from them, but they pull the strings in the "free world". Only a few communist countries managed for a while to hold them back. Sadly, thats not the case today.

I'm only a burden on the NHS at the moment, but I paid for it through all the years that I worked, I don't get my Gov. Pension until December

Maybe we should take a leaf out of late 18th Century France and have us a worldwide revolution and get rid of all these nouveaux riche/WBankers

[jtc]

Yep money and control is what's happening all around us

[yahoo2u2]

But as a young man, you dont see it or hear it. You are too busy chasing stuff
