<p align="justify">Our affiliate group, Freedom to Choose, has brought to our attention fatal news about yet another British pub.</p>

<p align="justify">A highly skilled immigrant to New Zealand shed pounds after initially being denied entry due to obesity.&nbsp; His weight problems, however, are not over.</p>

<p align="justify"><span style="font-size: 8pt;">We fully agree with </span><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Dr. Susan Blatt, who was involved in the Utica COMMIT antismoking program in the late 1980s and early 1990s: <em>you have to be direct and show that you care for them</em>.</span></p>

<p align="justify"><span style="font-size: 8pt;"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" align="left" src="https://www.forces.org/userfiles/video_button.jpg" alt="" /></span><span style="font-size: 8pt;">This rare footage by comedian Bill Hicks was never released to the media. When you watch it you will understand why.</span></p>

<p>San Francisco, that special, &quot;progressive&quot; city of public urination and defecation has just issued it’s first $100 fine for smoking in a park because an out of towner from a posh suburb didn’t like the old Chinese men smoking while playing cards.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;"><font face="Verdana"><img hspace="2" align="left" src="https://www.forces.org/userfiles/audio_button.jpg" alt="" /></font></span><span style="font-size: 8pt;">We are glad to present a new Round Table on a hot topic that is a standard of the antismoking tactics.&nbsp; Is FORCES (and other organizations that fight smoking bans and antitobacco) paid by the tobacco industry?</span></p>

<p>Nationwide there is a severe disconnect between the people of our country and the people elected to represent us.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Tobacco control activists respond to Dr. Siegel&rsquo;s challenges to demonstrate scientifically their BS claims on passive smoking in the only way they can: not with the science that they don&rsquo;t have, but with insults.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 8pt;">There is very little that is more disgusting about institutions than the technique of instilling panic based on&nbsp; trash science and bogus assumptions. That shoddy technique, however, has become the standard for anything that concerns health and, its companion issue, the environment.</span></p>
