IT'S NOT ABOUT HEALTH.

Councillor Bartlett in Stony Stratford Is a complete nutter who has demonstrated out of his own mouth that this is not about health but hatred of people who smoke.

He makes some very wild and scientifically unsubstantiated allegations.

Don't try it in Lincoln or you will face the wrath of the local tax payer who has simply had enough.

What council in its right mind would want to be seen like this manic smokerphobic idiot?

It's not about health.

In Bartlett's own words : ”Why should people have the freedom to smoke in my face, pass on diseases and spoil the environment? ….. When you walk through the high street in any town smoke is in your face and harming you and any children there…. Smokers then get their butt, which is full of saliva, and chuck it on the floor…It costs millions to clear street rubbish, and goodness knows what a child could pick up from them…”

For those who don't know, smoking is not a communicable disease. You cannot get ill from standing near a smoker. The science on passive smoking is not settled, and third hand smoke is a smokerphobic invention to ensure smokers' properties are devalued and they are unemployable.

It is about hate.
