Participate: The future of EU tobacco taxation

Legislative procedures often involve the consultation of various lobbying groups and people concerned, either in writing or verbally, by the Government and/or the Parliament. There are also such “consultations” at EU level, also regarding tobacco control policies.  At present, corporations, interest groups and individuals may have their say about the proposed changes in tobacco taxation. Versions are available in all various languages. This opportunity remains until the 3rd of September 2018. After all, the German tobacco taxes are not determined exclusively in Berlin, but are subject to an EU framework concerning their extent and configuration. Netzwerk Rauchen wants to see … Continue reading →

Smokers die older (3/3)

Mabel Dooings, the eldest resident of Swindon GB, started her 107th birthday by doing something for her health. “She still lives in her flat but she’s a little less active than in previous years,” says her son Ken. “But she gave up smoking last year. She has been smoking all her life, but I think she just does not feel like it any more. “ This statement is indicative of today’s state and media manipulation by interested parties in the background. Lust is being abolished in our society. We have lost the ability to think for ourselves and question the … Continue reading →

Raucher werden älter (3/3)

 „Mabel Dooings, die älteste Bewohnerin Swindons [GB] hat ihr 107. Altersjahr damit begonnen, etwas für ihre Gesundheit zu tun. ‚Sie lebt immer noch in ihrer Wohnung aber sie ist etwas weniger aktiv als in früheren Jahren‘, sagt ihr Sohn Ken. ‚Sie hat aber im letzten Jahr das Rauchen aufgegeben. Sie hat ihr ganzes Leben lang geraucht, aber ich denke, sie hat einfach keine Lust mehr.‘“ Diese Aussage ist bezeichnend für die heutige Staats- und Medien-Manipulation durch interessierte Kreise im Hintergrund. Die Lust wird in unserer Gesellschaft abgeschafft. Uns ist das Denken und Hinterfragen der Medien und Politiker abhandengekommen – irgendwann … Continue reading →

Hooray, I survived (2/3)

Since the turn of the millennium, we have a hypocritical, highly duplicitous state consisting largely of malicious do-gooders, who are only after the money of the poor, instead of toasting to the well-being of the citizens and not begrudging them their one of the last existing joys of life. But the state prefers antisocial exercise of power aided by its monopoly on violence and, together with its 25 percent of servants on its payroll (one out of four citizen now works for the state, all paid by us) it can exert its morbid suppression and control addiction with relish, in … Continue reading →

The price of smoking and drinking (1/3)

Smoking is a great thing. Tobacco soothes in stressful times and smoking stimulates when you are tired and exhausted. Tobacco allows me to do my business on the toilet in the mornings and I am settled after that all day long. Tobacco increases my ability to concentrate and makes it easier for me to write my articles. But according to a study by the WHO in 1998, I should have died about 50 years ago. I hope for your understanding that I did not comply with this request of the WHO. I was born by a hysterical, ecclesia-manic and depressed … Continue reading →

We & Napoleon: Art of War

Promises are supposed to be kept; I promised to elaborate on some of the ideas, briefly mentioned in my previous post. To remind, these were my suggestions about what we could and should do about crushing Tobacco Control, beyond just talking to each other. But we are weak and few, you may say. My answer is – no, that we are not. Our only problem is technical, namely, we do not constitute a majority, especially in that group of nations collectively called the West. Or that’s what they are trying to impress on us. So the problem is how to … Continue reading →

Villains and cigars

Among the indispensable attributes in caricatures of the ruthless capitalist was – next to top hat and pinstripe suit – always a cigar. Although the greedy bloodsuckers and their political accomplices in reality no longer resemble this, you can still find this type in current cartoons, for example, here and here. A fact that is conveniently brushed under the table is that even inconsiderate communists relished the cigar. Who does not immediately think of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara? Even their forefather Karl Marx was known to be smoking like a chimney, indeed, so many cigars, that he, by his … Continue reading →

Just talking is not enough anymore

Very few people have heard of an international smoker’s conference in Moscow way back in autumn of 2014. Maybe it’s because its results were weak, even though representation was strong. Represented were 21 international organizations, defending smoker’s rights, mostly from Europe. Absent were the Brits (they could not get their visas in time) and Americans. Present were several South Americans and one very vocal Indonesian. The Russian Movement for Smoker’s Rights was the host; the hotel was Kempinski, the ambiance perfect. There has never been such an event before [there were TICAP conferences in 2009 and 2010, though; ed.], and … Continue reading →

Tribes, Smoking and the Enlightenment

Thank you for welcoming me to this august group of free-thinkers. The ideas propounded in this blog are important far beyond the specific issue of tobacco use. They address the broader issue of personal sovereignty, of the right of individuals to choose their own thoughts and actions, their own means of personal enjoyment, free from the censure of self-appointed philosopher-kings. I will expand on this line of thinking in subsequent posts, as it relates to the metastasizing influence of cultural Marxism, post-modernism, and political correctness. So then, please allow me to introduce myself. I’m a man of wealth and taste.  … Continue reading →

Kingdom Environmental Services – Another Attack on Smokers?

In October last year, Blackburn and Darwen council announced they were hiring a private company, Kingdom Environmental Services, to ‘target litter louts and dog fouling’ with £75 fines for offenders. I’ll reserve judgement on such penalties being proportionate to the crime, but Darwen, lovely little town that it is, does have a serious problem with litter. Just down the road in Blackburn, some areas look like a regular rubbish dump. So the idea of someone finally doing something about this, was largely welcomed. It was deemed a serious problem and bringing Kingdom on board a good response. (My emphasis throughout) … Continue reading →
