[...] 3) Well, the anti-smoking zealots have already gotten to Churchill and Tom and Jerry; it was only a matter of time before Mickey went smoke-free too. Disney’s chief executive announced this week that the company would be eliminating smoking from its films, as well as discouraging the act under its two other labels: Touchstone and Miramax. Is the best way to deal with an issue to censor it? [...]

[...] Now keep in mind that Britain has nationalized health care, and that the denial of care is by government doctors who are paid with taxpayer funds – particularly the billions collected in tobacco taxes. In Great Britain taxes have driven the cost of a pack of cigarettes up to £5.50, or nearly $11 U.S. But later in the article the health Nazis reveal their real reason for this denial of medical treatment: “Its plans were welcomed yesterday by health charities but condemned by smoking groups which said they were part of a drive to save money and turn England’s 10 million smokers into pariahs.” [...]

[...] 1) Hurray for the Germans who recently rejected a total ban on smoking. Europe’s largest cigar market continues to be more pro-smoking than its continental neighbors. Maybe that’s because smoking bans remind Germans of the Nazi regime, that last instituted a smoking ban in Germany. [...]

[...] Often, in the course of that coverage, we call the people pushing such bans “do-gooders” – along with other less flattering names – in reference to the fact that while wrong, we generally think that these are sane people who are well-intentioned. That characterization – which in no way is an excuse for their attempts to impose their misguided values on others – was challenged by the video below. [...]

[...] 3) Meanwhile, a smoking ban in Suffolk County, Long Island is so restrictive it even bans smoking in cigar bars! This prompts the question: Who exactly is being protected by banning smoking in a cigar bar? The workers who chose to work in a cigar bar? The patrons who chose to go there? Oh, right! Smoking bans aren’t about protecting people…They’re about imposing the will of anti-smokers on others and eliminating individuals’ choices. [...]
