Sammy - Could you show me a study on the effects of smoking on blood sugar control and the prevention of diabetes? Because I cant find one

I think Sammy claimed that nicotine staved off diabetes, I was just wondering where the evidence for that is?

Smoking is not healthy, of course. That doesn't mean that the health fascists have to ban it in all public places. In Germany it's even worse. A landlord in Düsseldorf won a lawsuit against one of his tenants. An old man who was living in that flat for 40 years is now forbidden to smoke in his flat.

In my humble opinion both the judge and that landlord should be publicly lynched after getting their eyes burned out by cigarette butts. That would be justice...

Fascism is always anti-pleasure.

Hitler didn't drink, he didn't smoke and he was a vegetarian. I'm sure he didn't even enjoy a good meal.

That sounded fascist, too... OK... sorry...

Just forget that part about the violent phantasies!

My point was that the health fascists shouldn't be able to ruin our lives.

All of that stuff probably goes back to the "Lebensreform" movement of the 19th century.

Don't get me wrong: Non-Smoking, non-drinking and vegetarianism should still be legal in my book. It's fine if you wanna live that way! Just don't get on my nerves with your way of life!

That green tobacco smells funny...

Of course, heavy woodbine smoking amongst the factory classes is to be most discouraged. Rare cancers first discovered in British factory workers, the lung cancer capital of the world at one time, etc, etc.

One of my old bosses was a chain smoker of 80 a day, his office was a nicotine patina and even the windows had a yellow slimy gell on them. Totally 'effed up by the time was 49, had a nervous break down trying to give up.

My grandfather and all his brothers and sisters, with the exception of those who had died in the war, suffered with the ill effects of smoking: hardening of the arteries in the legs, some amputations of the legs, heart disease and emphysemia. But in all cases, with the exception of my grandfather, they all continued smoking, sometimes for 20 years or more, some still going now. My grandfather gave up when he was 74 and died with asbestosis when he was 88.
