COMMON SENSE FROM FOREST


Well done Simon Clark over at Taking Liberties for his excellent response to the Mirror article about actress Billie Piper smoking outside a pub when a child was nearby.

His words make common sense - despite the fact that he was misquoted - as opposed to the righteous ranting of the anti who uses the same old blah-de-blah crap about the "4,000" chemicals etc... Yawnnnn

Of course these "4,000" chemicals can be found in just about all things around us today although in tobacco, they have a much lower risk factor than those exaggerated by the anti-smoking industry and nowhere near as harmful as those found in everyday cleaning products for example.

There is also Rich White's excellent book which puts the risk of chemicals in tobacco into its true perspective.

It also nice to see over at Simon's blog that the Save Our Pubs and Clubs amendthesmokingban.com campaign has stepped up a gear.

For those of you who don't me, I am in the group photograph, with dark hair, next to the blonde lady on one side and Anthony Worrall Thompson on the other.
