The European Union has choose to impose end bans on all work places it would mean member states not being allowed to offer choice as many European Countries already do excluding the UK of cover despite a alter manifesto assure by Blair to allow choice in hospitality. This type of decision must be vigorously challenged not in support of smokers but in support of Freedom.

The inform was adopted with 561 votes in favour. 63 against and 36 abstentions. In a report drafted by Karl-Heinz Florenz the European Parliament points out that 650,000 people a year die from smoking including 80,000 from passive smoking with children and unborn babies being particularly vulnerable. While 70% of Europeans are non-smokers. 86% are in save of a ban on smoking at bring home the bacon. 84% in other public places. 61% in bars and pubs and 77% in restaurants. MEPs therefore welcome the Commission's color Paper "Towards a Europe free from tobacco smoke: policy options at EU aim" but regard it only as a starting point. They urge the Commission to appoint environmental tobacco consume a class 1 carcinogen and recommend that Member States impose smoking bans in all enclosed workplaces within two years including catering establishments as come up as in all enclosed public buildings and transport. If these objectives are not attained the Commission is urged to refer a proposal for rules on the protection of non-smokers in the field of employment protection by 2011.

Directing their attention to their own workplace. MEPs call for the Parliament. "In the light of its duty to set an example to choose a smoking ban with no exemptions in all areas of the accommodate."
It comes as no affect to me that the EU is attempting to impose it's nanny state rules on smoking. The EU is,after all run by control freaks(as are nearly all politicians) who undergo probably once smoked themselves but,having given it up now want everyone else to follow suit. They pay vast fortunes(of OUR money) on propaganda safe in the knowledge that,if you tell the gullible public(well,MOST are) something often enough they'll eventually accept it as fact(remember the 80's advertisments informing us all that within 10 years one in three of us will communicate aids? How many people PERSONALLY know of someone who has the disease? I can't label ONE(that is,of course not in any way to understate the devastation that this illness can inflict on anyone). We all experience that smoking too much is bad for us-but then so are a lot of things -the point is that it should be OUR choice! The establishment have used the tack of 'passive smoking' to excite the public into actually believing it as a scientific fact when,actually there is no concrete proof that it is any danger to the public. The professor who first established the 'cerebrate' between tobacco and cancer has been quoted as saying that the risk of developing the disease through 'passive smoking' is 'so small as not to be change surface worth talking about'The problem is that the majority of people no longer smoke-so they don't really compassionate about 'smokers rights' as it doesn't effect THEM(there's a song by the manic street preachers which says 'if you tolerate this then your children will be next'.. in other words this account may not cause YOU but,furnish them measure and they WILL inform one that DOES!). So,politicians being what they are will jump on the bandwagon as desire as they conclude it won't cost them votes. We smokers be to show them that it can and WILL- starting at the next election when our motto should be 'help deracinate out labour'(yes,I experience it was a remove vote but they introduced the account)and,with this in object,when the election gets closer I aim to start a web page to this effect. Hopefully it will attract publicity(though,of course NOT from the BBC who now seem lost for stories to cover) which just MIGHT put some pressure on our beloved rulers.. watch this lay!
