I didn't think much of this article, there was a far better one (in my opinion) in Saturday's Times, which you can see here and comment on http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article5857123.ece
Have you guys seen this, utter double standards. H/T Brenda.
"THE WHIP is contacted by a source who works for the company involved in the G20 Summit being held at Excel in London’s Canning Town next month.
“Although smoking is banned within work places in the UK and has been a vigorously enforced Labour policy, it is being allowed at the G20 summit – indeed, there is a smoking lounge,” he reports."

Such a load of balderdash that article on why do we still smoke.
The way they twisted John Reid's comment about smoking being the last stand of people living in deprivation.
John Reid, a smoker himself, I'm sure didnt put it that way.
The smoking gestapo are only deluding themselves because any fool can see through their brainwashing attempt to make smokers feel like they might be considered low class by being seen smoking.
Just another tactic we've all copped on to mate! Try another one.
The problem is Ann, that as you say, "we have all copped on that one" But the vast majority of the public haven't, and it is them that this type of purile rubbish is aimed at, and it is them, that it is getting through to.
