Demands of Kidnapper & Japanese Release Negotiations

"I have three demands, or I'll kill the boy!"

Negotiator reassesses the situation from next door.

Head Negotiator dispatched

Negotiations begin

Negotiations concluded

Everyone (almost everyone) goes home in time for dinner.
No muss, no fuss.
In this country, we would talk him out of it,
Spend five million giving him a fair trial,
And pay his food and lodging for life.
No wonder their cars are cheaper than ours.

if you smoke your children will smoke, and become smelly and ill
HOWEVER, lots of things in this world make you smelly and ill, and some make you more ill than cigarettes

Smoking makes me poor and smelly, and if I do it too much it seems liable to make me ill. I only do it outdoors or when sharing a space with other smokers (e.g. smoking sections of pubs). I avoid doing it over bar staff and others because it's grotty and they aren't given the choice.
At the moment I'm not doing it too much and am successfully training for a charity run without coughing fits or being unable to run more than a mile or two.
If I had kids (god forbid) they wouldn't see me smoke.
On balance I reckon the pleasure I get from it outweighs the negatives (poor, smelly, danger of doom, social pariah-ness in some circles).
By 'research' I mean I might rootle out a bunch of scientific papers from both sides of the smoking=death argument and weigh things up myself so as to make at least a partially-informed decision.
Anyone particularly anti-smoking or particularly pro-smoking out there can think of a paper I particularly shouldn't miss, please Gaz me the details. I promise not to ignore it.

and how much has to be spent clearing up your dog ends and phlegm that you spit out onthe street.

and a pocket of monster munch.
P.s. Dog ends and phlegm in the street are a problem caused by some people being dirty little scrotes who happen to smoke. I know plenty of smokers (like me) who don't just spit in the street and leave fag ends around the place.

don't go to a pub (after 1st July of course).
Seriously, that is the shitest arguament against the ban. Me going into a pub and not smoking doesn't really affect anyone (unless I haven't had a bath for a while) but someone smoking in the same room as me makes me smell and gives me face aids.
Forest talk utter shite.

so do the anti-smoking fanatics.
as far as I can see the agreed facts by actual real life people I've met are:
1) some people like it and want to do it
2) some people think it smells awful and it annoys them.
3) you can't get the smell out of your clothes/eyes/hair easily
4) it's not particularly healthy
so yes, people shouldn't have it inflicted on them needlessly. Nor should people be denied the option to do it, but there's no defence against the perfectly reasonable request to go outside while you do it. Or to a special room or something, with suitable ventilation.

I have no problem if people want to smoke (although I still think that it is obviously not the best thing to do) but the arguament that I shouldn't go to a pub if I don't want breathe it in a smell of it really pisses me off.
Surely the arguament should be the other way around.
Anyway the smokers can moan all they like, they will still be freezing their arses off outside come November.

Anybody who cares so little about their children that they are willing to smoke in front of them does not need a smoking ban as encouragement.
The smoking ban in Scotland has not stopped anybody from smoking when they go to the pub - they just go outside for 5 minutes whenever they want a cigarette.

from the ASH Media Briefing on the budget and smoking tax 20/03/2006
"The Treasury earned £8,000 million in revenue from tobacco duties for the financial year 2005-2006 (excluding VAT).
"About 80% of the price of a packet of cigarettes consists of taxation."
Smoking costs the National Health Service (NHS) approximately £1.5 billion a year for treating diseases caused by smoking."

70 billion smokes per year with 8.8 billion in tax? how much tax money does that make per cigarette? 0.12 billion? haha...someone please point out my poor maths, this doesn't make sense.

All I was doing was corroborating that Tax revenue in this country is always around £8Bn a year these days.
I'm not quoting you statisticts I'm quoting you facts that are published by ASH ( the anti smoking people ) who state on their pages that their source for the information is H.M. Treasury.

Or at least have effective smoking areas within pubs (with decent air extraction etc) instead of the only thing separating the smoking and non smoking sections being a small sign.

where the air conditioning/extractor fan system was so efficient, that mere seconds after I put out my fatty there wasn't even the merest hint of smoke in the air. If all smoking pubs were made to install that kind of equipment, there would be no problem.
