Research conducted by the Retailers Against Smuggling pressure group says 36% of retailers had considered reducing staff and 38% had considered closing shop after losing revenue to illegal tobacco peddlers. Also, approximately 40% had been offered to purchase illegal and fake cigarettes for their business. In the U.K cigarettes are smuggled in from Latvia (cigarettes cost a fraction of the price they do in the U.K); similarly illegal tobacco products are smuggled in to the U.S from Mexico. The sell of illegal cigarettes has sky rocketed in the last few years in response to high taxation.

One cannabis joint causes as much damage to the lungs as five chain-smoked cigarettes, research has found.
Medical examinations of WEED users and cigarette enthusiasts found that WEED increased lung problems, including obstructed airways and hyperinflation.
Medical Research Institute of New Zealand studied a group of 339 volunteers aged 18 to 70. They were divided into four groups according to whether they smoked only WEED, only tobacco, both, or were non-smokers. Every volunteer was subjected to lung function tests and x-ray scans of their chests to see the amount of damage to their lungs and airways.
They claimed that the most important fining was that smoking a joint was about the same as rapidly smoking 3-5 cigarettes.
Using marijuana seems to increase the chance of becoming psychotic, as well. A new study from England suggests that even infrequent use could raise the small but real risk of serious mental illness by 40 percent!!!!!!!!!!!!
"The available evidence now suggests that cannabis is not as harmless as many people think," said Dr. Stanley Zammit. Dr Stanley is one of the authors of the study, as well as s lecturer in the department of psychological medicine at Cardiff University. Weed also increased the frequency of hallucinations, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, neuroses and suicidal tendencies.
The English scientists found a more disturbing fact about "heavy users" of pot, who use it daily or weekly. Their risk for psychosis jumped to a range of 50 percent to 200 percent.
Why is the government, and lobbyists around the world, trying to outlaw smoking tobacco and legalize WEED???
My personal view, which I admit is a little strange, is that governments like a "high" population. They like their citizens to be docile, dumb, listen to orders and be unconcerned about important issues.

In Sioux Falls, SD, an intoxicated man went into a gas station put a bottle of vodka in his pants, ran out, and stole an employee's car. After a car chase, the man fled from the police on foot, then fought with them. He was arrested and charged with grand theft, shoplifting, possession of a stolen vehicle, fleeing from police, resisting arrest, drunken driving, and hit and run.
THIS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE DRINKING.

uganda land of the piss drunks
Uganda is the nation on earth that drinks the most (total recorded alcohol per capita consumption (15years+), in litres of pure alcohol) according to the WHO Global Status Report on Alcohol. Ugandans drink an insane average 19.47 litres of pure alcohol... now that is piss drunk.
Apparently there is so much alcohol in Uganda, that the chimps get in on the action and get drunk. The chimps living in the national parks have become accustomed to raiding the illegal breweries within the parks; this has led to the chimps attacking many people (I guess chimps are angry drunks), killing numerous children. One such chimp nicknamed Hussein has killed three children.

Violent crime in London jumped a huge 6% in 2006, but guns are illegal there right? Also every criminal knows that every innocent person they attack will be unarmed. In fact violent crime has risen in London ever since Tony Blair took all the law abiding citizen's guns, poor Brits; let's not go there.
