FREE THE EARTH FROM DEVIL SMOKE

Failed intellectuals, arm-chair revolutionaries, frustrated utopians, tyrannical tycoons, spoilt spitritualists, profiteers, corrupt capitalists, lecherous leftists- all have ganged up against humanity in an unholy alliance.

whatever your views, whatever your religion, language, caste, color, creed, credo, nationality, profession, ideology, culture or any idiocyncracy --remember one thing that you will have to live, breathe, drink and eat on this planet EARTH. Therefore you have an obligation and equal right like anyone else to keep this planet livable and breathable. Cigarette smoking is one of the major causes that are making this planet unlivable. Rid yourself of this satanic evil if you are gripped by it and stand up against it. Join my blog and let our voices become one. Let there be synergy in our efforts.

BOLLYWOOD AND SMOKING-2

Minister Against Banning Smoking In Films


Striking a discordant note over Health Minister's plans to ban smoking in films and TV, new Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting M H Ambareesh, an actor-turned-politician, today said he was against any such ban.
“We live in a democratic country. Everybody’s tastes are different. If heroes stop smoking, will people not smoke?” he said adding the matter should be left to individuals.
The Minister said “we can’t force and can’t bind anybody.” Ambareesh, who is yet to take charge, said “why you want to ban smoking in films. Ban cigarette factories only. Am I right or wrong?” At the same time, he made it clear he would be happy if people did not smoke “because health-wise, it is not good.” Information and BroadcastingMinister P R Dasmunsi also has reservations over Health Minister Ambumani Ramadoss’ plans to ban smoking in films.
