You can find it on www.freedom2choose.co.uk feel free to post the link here, Jon won't of course read it and claims that it was the reporters comment and not that of Ms Arnott or Ian Willmore, but he would wouldn't he. the link http://society.guardian.co.uk/health/story/0,,1823348,00.html Fraud by the Pharmacists. It seems that the success of smoking cessation products could be even lower that the 14% acknowledged by ASH if a widespread fraud is indeed uncovered. The story. http://society.guardian.co.uk/health/news/0,,1979226,00.html

Thank you Robert for denouncing cheaters and poll riggers from TBD site. You are a well respected leader of opnion from that site so I do expect guidance from you regarding cheating. The thread is continuing so a short reminder about lying and cheating would put a stop to that.

Jon, I denounce all cheats and riggers, you yet again chose to be selective in your post. ASH, CRUK, HMG, DoH are all riggers and cheats and I denounce them without hesitation. You are yet again Jon losing any credibility and showing yourself up for someone who has no contact or link to the industry. Oh and I have just a little bad news for you. F2C has had full access, management and control of TBD for a couple of months. Our people have almost completed their tracking of YOU. We will be publishing who you really are shortly. Have a good new year.

Wonderful, Scottish publicans are saying no smoking in pubs has been bad for business. Irish publicans have said it before and consumption figures of alchohol in licensed premises in Ireland have gone down. Enjoy this Xmas in England and Wales because next year there will probably be far less of us here to debate the point. As someone else pointed out in our attempts to stay alive we'll pour millions of pounds as a whole into the garden furniture industry and the like in an attempt to keep our regular customers who enjoy a pint and a chat at the bar. Some smoke, some do not, but even those who don't smoke will stop coming out because their smoking friends no longer enjoy coming out and drink at home with cheap 'below cost price alchohol' or because the new non smoking masses still refuse to come out or change their lifestyle in any way, so there will be no one at the bar to talk to, or for that instance in the new outside smoking areas.

The politician, Andy Kerr on the other hand who is a Scottish MSP and therefore paid to represent the views of his constituents with their taxes insists that it is not about business but saving lives. If it is about saving lives, just ban tobacco full stop, though even if that were done it would still be at least 60 years or 3 generations before all effects of tobacco were eradicated. Still if there were a free vote by the people of this country I still believe the non smokers would win because at least 75% of the adult population are non smokers. I sincerely hope that in 12 months time we are here celebrating our best Xmas ever, but sadly I don't think so. Mr Kerr may even have to accept a salary cut soon in line with the reduced taxes that are available to pay his wage.

Happy New Year all
