Say no to the nanny state

Today we are launching our first viral marketing campaign. For more information and to sign the petition against further punitive controls on tobacco, please click HERE - and pass it on.

Great to see this Simon! Refreshing to see smokers portrayed as clean, articulate, educated and intelligent people with their own minds - and the point that we represent 25% of the population is critical, I think - and easily forgotten as the process of 'de-normalisation' continues.

Just one point though - I went directly to You Tube to search for it under 'just say no' (Oh God... found Grange Hill!); 'the free society' and 'smoking shop display' and it doesn't turn up on page one of the search results (I didn't look any further than page one).

Forgive me if this has already been done, and simply hasn't 'kicked in' yet, but I'd suggest that a good strong list of potential search criteria words are used in the descriptive text, so that people are more likely to stumble across it accidentally.

Here's to MANY more people becoming aware of The Free Society and realising that they are NOT denormal/abnormal/subnormal (is there any difference between these terms?)

Thanks SS. The video is called "Say no to the nanny state". I have changed the title of this post to avoid confusion.

So the labour govt and their subordinates in Ash are not satisfied with the smoking ban and feel that we are not suffering enough, so they up the anti by hiding cigs from our sight. (they mus'nt have heard of the street corners where you can get cartons from the poles for half the price).
Whats going to be next then, out of sight drink! believe me they wont stop at cigs if they get this crazy ban to work. Especially as they're dessimating the pubs at the rate of noughts. If they're paving the way for a cafe society like the continent that wont work either because of our weather. So whats they're game I'd like to know when scammers, skimmers, smugglers, fraudsters, drug gangs and traffickers are bleeding the country and the citizens dry - they come up with this punishing ban as if its going to make a big impact on the treasury.
Seems to me that they cant cope with real crime and the serious issued and want to make it look like they're achieving something and also how they're still in control of the little people.
