Tobacco Control Tactics

It's great to see the launch of a new site dedicated to exposing the lies, dodgy science and sheer vindictiveness of the tobacco control industry, otherwise known as neo-puritans, health nazis, state sponsored bullies and all round bad guys.

Tobacco Control Tactics is the place and it deserves every bit of support it can get from all of those people, smokers and non-smokers alike, who are fed up of being dictated to by unelected (and probably unelectable) curmudgeons who seem to take delight in removing every last ounce or gramme of enjoyment from the lives of all those they disagree with.

H.L, Mencken hit the nail on the head when he wrote, "Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy." There was a man who was up to snuff!


Those neo-puritans could use a little more of this...

Laurel and Hardy: The Bagpipes and the Snuff Box


A classic. And the papier-mâché snuff box is rather nice too.
