Trying To Light A Cigarette
Ever since that infamous day – 1 July 2007 – I’ve been trying to start a fire, one that would travel all the way round the world, and burn down Tobacco Control. But doing something like that is like trying … Continue reading
Kindred Spirits
Well, there we all are. From left to right, Twentyrothmans, Frank, Nisakiman, Bucko, in the White Hart in Ashton Keynes. We were perhaps one of the most unlikely band of brothers to ever be thrown together. I’d hoped it would … Continue reading
Strange Meeting
Tomorrow’s going to be a big day. It’ll be a bit like Stony Stratford, when smokers ( and maybe one or two non-smokers) travelled across England to protest against a proposed street smoking ban. For tomorrow a bunch of smokers … Continue reading

When smokers were expelled from society, some of them got angry about it. They wanted their lost rights restored. They wanted the bans lifted. They wanted to be re-admitted into society as full members, not second class citizens. And I … Continue reading
Ignorance
As I’ve frequently remarked, the smoking debate has many parallels with the climate debate – if nothing else because in both cases “the debate is over.” Over the past couple of years I’ve slightly lost interest in the climate debate, … Continue reading
Useless Doctors
I spoke to Nisakiman last night. He got his biopsy results last week. And the prognosis was delivered to him by a harridan doctor who told him that he had “not years” to live, but only months. And of course … Continue reading
