A great point
against the antis - Robert is an avid reader of our website, and
he writes to us with a good argument: if the antismokers are so worries
about the unproven hazards of passive smoke for children in cars, why
there is no action against the proven hazards of dangerous driving when
children are on board? A good argument indeed, except that Robert - like
all honest people - thinks about logic, commonsense and real priorities.
But that is not at all what the antitobacco fraud is about. Our C.E.O.
Gian Turci responds.

Point
of clarification
- November 11 -
An
anti-tobacco lawyer objects to the language used when corresponding to a
restaurant that prominently announced that it was "proudly
smokefree." A rose by any other name would smell just as
sweet and exclusion by any other name would be just as hurtful and
unacceptable. Bigotry is bigotry and silence in the face of it is
not golden.
Sanctimony suites
the antismoking scum
- October 20 -
Answer to a
reader who criticises us for a
reply to a young
man over two years ago! According to
him, we did not do the “right thing” by pointing out the truth on
smoking and tobacco and, even worse, we did not bestowed on him
sanctimonious paternalism. Sorry, sir: antismoking is a social cancer
and a fraud that is targeting especially the youth – and for that
reason, we are making our best effort to make young people aware of how
“public health” is conning them – to make them aware of a frightening
upcoming reality that must be stopped: a word of pharmaceutical
drugs and state surveillance where 100 years lived under the immoral
control of the state are considered better than 70 lived as free people
making their own decisions on lifestyle and values. And there is no junk
science and sanctimony that is going to make us change our mind.
Smoking
and animals
- October 20 -
Reader loves smoking,
but she feels bad because of some animal testing.
Although we are sympathetic to what she feels, it is also true that
virtually all industries, for a reason or another, are testing on animals:
food, cosmetics -- drug companies especially -- test on animals.
Unfortunately, there is no other way to test things sometimes, as the
alternative is to test on humans.
Amen
to your website!
- October 20 -
Reader finds
"home" at FORCES, but she would like the health gangs to go after drinkers
instead of smokers. FORCES disagrees.
I
need to bitch because I had enough
- October 20 -
As it is a common
occurrence, this FORCES reader finds in our organization a sort of "venting
valve", so he "needs to bitch because he had enough". But a
question come naturally: What is he prepared to do, other than
bitching?
Smoking
and minors... fascism and Target Market
- October 20 -
"Minor" from Target
Market feels that "extreme steps" must be taken against Freedom of Speech
and Expression (oops, sorry... tobacco advertising)
because he feels he is "targeted" -- and this "kid" says so with the
most professionally crafted letter we have ever seen. A copy-paste
con artist in the making, or a formed, professional antismoking con posing
as a kid? You decide.
Rights -
May 12 - We believe that there is a big problem in the world: there
are still too many honest, innocent people. Here is a reader who asks us
where to write a petition to have her smoking rights back! Far
out! She does not realize – along with millions of others, unfortunately –
who she is dealing with: fascists that are often hidden in white
coats, and who take the opportunity of pharmaceutically-sponsored junk
science to implement their political/financial agendas at the speed of light
and world-wide,
at the service of the industry that pays them off in the first place.
What do rights have to do with that?
Rightful
hatred
- May 12 - Why do we publish this antismoking garbage? To show to those who still
believe that some form of dialogue or compromise is possible with
antitobacco how utterly wrong they are. But also and especially, we publish
it because the writer IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT in some of what he says.
What?... Seriously – just read: he proudly states that he has abused
smokers for years, and got no reaction whatsoever. It is well known
that abuse gives a pleasurable feeling of power to the abuser, and as
long as he can get away with it, why stop? (Caution: strong
language inside).
No smoker’s good
deed shall go unpunished - May 12 - Young smoker tells us
about the “rewards” he gets when he helps people: fired from his job
thanks to the squealing of a woman who reported to his boss without even
facing him directly. Typical example of “smoke-free” society: good deeds
get punished if they have a cigarette attached to them, and cowardly
acts get rewarded for the "health of the collective". Back to the USSR
in the name of “health? It sure seems that way…

(to your health, comrade!)
A
bygone era, or: a losing attitude - May 8 -
A very nice
letter, that, however, depicts exactly the attitude that may
irreversibly deliver smoking (and freedom) to history: accepting implicitly
that there is nothing we can do to stop fascism from running us --
other than crying and being "nostalgic". If we decide that we belong
to the past and that we have lost, sure enough it will become a
self-fulfilling prophecy. ...And you know what? The real loser will also
congratulate himself -- and feel reassured for having seen so far; he
has surrendered even before fighting -- because he knew the outcome of the
battle already!
Get
the bastards, or: a winning attitude - May 8 - Dear Bill,
congratulations! Now,
compare your letter with that of another reader. You are doing
exactly the right thing. It is disgusting that citizens who pay
more taxes than anyone else are kicked out and punished, with all the
economic power they have – but that they are afraid to use because they are
lead to question their own behaviour by fascist propaganda based on frauds!
A
“disturbing website” – Thank you!
- May 8 - Reader finds our site “disturbing” especially because we
expose the fraudulent antismoking propaganda of “public health”, where
“proven causality” really means: “We guess -- and we have the power to
push it with your money”. We are accused of pushing “money-tainted
views” – perhaps because we are exposing the payolas of Big Pharma to
“public health” and its peripherals. If that is the case, thank you very
much for your letter: we are proud to smoke, and drink, and to
eat fat-dripping hamburgers – right in your face.
Smokers
have financed the war – but no thanks are coming
- May 8 - “If the cost of this war is 90 billion bucks, then we
still have 130 billion left over from the tobacco settlement before anyone
besides the smokers has to pay one red penny. This country owes the smoker
one gigantic thank-you for financing this war for them. Asking only 25
percent of the population to finance a major war is a bit extreme, but
smokers are the best, and we are up to it.” Indeed we are, as far as
disposable citizens go.
High
risk choices
- May 8 - Reader comments on the hypocrisy, inconsistencies and lack
of logic of antitobacco. We respectfully disagree – and we explain why.
