Wowser campaign

The latest persecution of smokers is not so much the actions of the Nanny State or just for health reasons.

The reason is much more sinister.

One of the least attractive features of human nature is that some love to have power over others.

Thus, tin-pot dictators persecute hapless smokers.

Why don't politicians show some guts for once and ban smoking?

If the politicians are ever pushed to ban smoking, you can bet their next wowser campaign will be against beer drinkers.
