The BMA should just butt out.

Posted on November 16, 2011 by KG

‘Smoking in private cars should be banned to protect children and the elderly, the British Medical Association has said.’
There’s never a lack of bastards willing to interfere in the lives of others, is there? Any pretext will do. We’re surrounded by all manner of things which are potentially harmful which means that they have unlimited opportunities to regulate the lives of others.
Fuck off. How about the BMA looks at the fact that foreign nurses working in Britain don’t even need to be able to speak and understand English? Or perhaps they could look at the large numbers of dodgy Indian and Pakistani doctors who are busy killing and disfiguring patients? And how about publicising the number of people killed by the medical profession and hospitals, before they advocate sniffing the ashtrays in private vehicles.
Smug, purse-lipped control-freak bastards.

    The BMA does not reflect the views of the majority of doctors. Like the press, they have been hijacked by the left.

    We all know that smoking causes certain diseases, just like obesity, sedentary lifestyles, sexual behaviour, sun exposure, alcohol consumption, occupation, ethnicity, gender, age, etc, etc makes one prone to other diseases. You simply cannot ban everything, people have to make their own choices and face the consequences of those choices.

    So, if I’m a fat, white male who sits behind a desk all day long, who smokes and drinks excesively, and the most exercise I get is operating the TV remote, then I’ll die young from heart disease. My choice………simple. :roll:

    “My choice………simple.”
    Exactly. And the zealots are very quiet (perhaps there are no taxpayer funds in it) when it comes to diesel fumes (a known carcinogen) and the effects of outgassing from plastics in modern cars when those cars are left all day with the windows closed. :evil:

    If you can’t smoke in your own car, then how can you smoke in your own house. If you can’t smoke in your own house, what’s stopping some fascist piece of shit from telling you when to sleep, what to eat, when to fart, when to spit.

    Sometimes i wonder if these wankers just have small dicks or something, maybe they had their heads held in toilets during school and want to get square with the world.

    * You have the right to smoke. You don’t have the right to smoke where it inconveniences/endangers others. This is obvious, like all similar “rights” (shouting “fire” in a crowded theatre, for example). QED.

    Okay, that’s dealt with. Now let’s get all thos bloody Muslims, who won’t wash themselves, out of our health systems. Much more important.

    This reminds me of one of Penn & Teller’s “Bullshit” programmes where they investigated so-called passive smoking and discovered (as you’d expect) that there’s no discernible health risk to the passenger/passer-by. Smelly & annoying, yes, but the risk is only to the long-term smoker him/herself. They also found a serious misuse of statistics by those promoting this idea – I don’t recall the details but it had something to do with using percentages in a misleading way.

    Most smokers do bear that in mind. The inconsiderate smoker is becoming a mythical (and convenient) stick with which to beat the rest.
    I fucking hate zealots.

    “Most smokers do bear that in mind. ”

    Yep, indeed they do, nowadays. It still surprises me how smoke-free most of the public environment now is.
