In Canberra, as everywhere else in Australia,
smokers are more demonised than refugees.
Big Brother wants smokers to kick the habit.
Nicotine Nazies have banned nicotine addicts
from smoking in Canberra's park play areas
lest they force passive smoke on children.
Canberra Hospital used to have an outdoor
Leper Area where its patients and visitors
could puff away their lives, unmolested
by Nicotine Nazies. Now the Leper Area
is gone and No Smoking is enforced
inside and outside the hospital.
Canberra's pubs, clubs and dives have caged
outdoor Leper Areas where, like animals in
a zoo, smokers can puff away, drink beer
and watch sports channels on plasma TV.
There's no doubt that smoking is addictive
and it causes all sorts of health problems
but Prohibition By Stealth will only drive
smokers to use "Chop Chop" smuggled
tobacco to dodge high excise costs.
Below is Justin's Tree in our Canberra backyard.
Justin was the Chief Pathologist at Canberra
Hospital. When we moved into a new home,
Justin gave us a Maple Tree sapling from his
small farm just outside Canberra as a house
warming present. He must have signed or
done hundreds of biopsies and autopsies
of lungs riddled with cancer from smoking.
Guess what Justin died from long before
his time. Lung cancer from smoking. Yet
tobacco companies try to kid smokers
that their products are not addictive.
