We are outraged!
Health Minister Ab Klink of The Netherlands wants to ban smoking completely in the hospitality industry per July 1st 2008 (in Dutch).
Over our dead bodies!
Together with other pro-choice organisations, Forces Netherlands is now preparing quite an unusual action that will start half of June. Pop bands will participate too. A very special ship will absolutely draw all attention on the Dutch rivers and lakes!
Watch this site closely! More information soon!
If you are a citizen of The Netherlands and or member of a Dutch organization or playing in a Dutch Pop band and wish to participate in this fight, we kindly request to send us an email.
Together we can fight this stupid ban! |

Smoking bans in hospitality industry? Think twice
* The hospitality industry is there for everyone: smoker or non-smoker
* If there would have been a market for non-smoking bars, restaurants, etc., there would have been many places that cater to non-smoking guests
* Owners of bars, restaurants, etc. should decide if smoking is allowed or not
* Smoking bans harm the hospitality industry financially and are disastrous for small bars and pubs
* Smoking bans are based on scientific fraud: passive smoke does not harm anyone
* There are enough advanced ventilation techniques available. Smoking bans are not necessary
* Smoking bans in other countries show that people smoke more at their homes where the kids are (anti-smokers always say kids are are most affected by secondhand smoke)
* There will be significantly more noise on the streets (2 - 3 times more), because smokers are forced to go outside for a smoke
* A big part of society, i.e. the smokers, will feel discriminated because they are not welcome anymore
* Smoking bans are promoted by a very small hysterical minority and are supported by the pharmaceutical industry. A big mayority of the people doesn't want bans at all
* Smoking bans are a next step to even more prohibition and population control and less free choice

Media: The other side of the fence
|
 March 12th 2008 - The Other Side of the Fence - FORCES International Round Table - Gian Turci puts on the guise of an antismoker for this session of the Round Table. His debating partner, Winston Smith, is an admirer and collaborator of FORCES.
Antitobacco is under strict command to avoid any debate with our side (“the debate is over," though really, it never happened.) On the other hand the mass-media, that always cater to the minimum public IQ denominator and to political correctness, seem to feel they should show some sort of token debate — while making certain that the smokers’ side loses all the time. That is done by either cherry-picking weak representatives, by giving disproportionate time allowance to the prohibitionists, and/or by insuring that the host is a fierce supporter of the Healthist ideology. All in all the duty of the press, as they see it, is to make smokers look bad.

Fight for Freedom: The show must go on
|
 March 10th 2008 - The Show Must Go On - Minnesota bar owners struggling with red numbers due to the oppressive smoking ban are standing their ground in the face of threats from state health officials.
Following up on our report from last week, "theater night" has caught on with more than a hundred establishments around the state and most plan to continue exploiting the loophole in spite of some heavy saber-rattling by antis in various capacities around the state. The defiant are communicating, as for instance with these web sites: (Link 1) (stored version) (Link 2) (stored version). Furthermore, attorney Mark Benjamin, a leader of the revolt, promises to defend the oppressed for free: (Link 3) (stored version) (Video).

Fight for Freedom: Help a Hero: the Tony Blows Fund
|
 March 8th 2008 - Help a hero: The Tony Blows Fund - Very much like Nick Hogan, Tony Blows is a landlord - the landlord of the Dog Inn in Hereford, England, to be exact.
He has put his livelihood at risk to show all publicans that the British smoking ban is wrong and unjust. With 27 pubs closing per week Tony has made a brave stand against this law that is killing off your pubs, one by one.

Media: Reading between the lines
|
March 7th 2008 - Reading Between the Lines - We take good news where we find it. In this era of media laziness and special interest shilling we sometimes find it in the strangest places.
Last week the Marin Independent Journal regurgitated a press release from anti-tobacco that essentially proved that anti-tobacco education is counterproductive. The story was another cry for censorship in films, but in an inept attempt to bolster tying the "R" rating to all movies that contain tobacco smoking, a great case was made to discontinue California's absurd anti-smoking education.

Media: Pint and fag marathoner
|
|
March 7th 2008 - Pint and Fag Marathoner - Britain's oldest employed man, at age 101, has now taken up a new avocation. No, not playing draughts, and no, he's not taking up knitting either. Buster Martin is in training to become the oldest-ever entrant in the London Marathon, in fact, the oldest ever in any marathon, anywhere. He says beer and cigarettes are what keep him going.

Media: Worth more than one listening
|
 March 6th 2008 - Worth more than one listening - This radio interview with Dr. Geoffrey Kabat is about five years old but it could have been recorded yesterday.
Nearly five years ago the famous, gigantic study of James Enstrom and Geoffrey Kabat on passive smoking in California demonstrated conclusively that there is no way to associate passive smoking with any disease. For that reason Kabat – and particularly Enstrom – were attacked viciously by the antitobacco ideologues and the junk scientists on the payroll of either “public health” institutions or the pharmaceutical industry. The assault extended to the British Medical Journal, that “dared” publishing an immense and scrupulous study that demonstrated – conclusively – that the passive smoking “dangers” are an epidemiological fraud because they cannot be measured.
