tom3t0 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 has anyone seen this advert on tv, i feel it attacks smoker humans rights. If i said asians smell of curry it would be discrimination, if i said fat people smell of sweat it would be discrimination, why then can the government feel it ok to attack smokers in this way and at the same time expect us to put our tab ends in the bin(which i do) and pay more tax.

nick2 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 why then can the government feel it ok to attack smokers in this way This is how the government has decide to help people stop smoking, by slagging them off and banning their habit in public, I suppose it's much easier than finding a way to help people stop that actually works (assuming the government actually do want people to stop smoking, and paying all that lovely tax) Expect a similar campaign to tackle obesity "fat people are stupid" or something similar.

Daven Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 It's not discrimination Tom, it's FACT. Smokers do stink and, sadly, so does everyone else around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
