Fed up with neighbour’s cigarette smoke, Tampines resident suggests increasing tobacco tax, adding levy — and caning

[True Believer]

So, you are saying non smokers have more right to the public places than smokers, right?
Same as our neighbours up north, burning and blowing the haze for all of us to suffer. The only way for us is to get out by travelling during the period. So,
non smokers can just walk away also right?

Do not use a straw man argument by putting words in my mouth.

 

[True Believer]

In case you do not know what a straw man argument is, it happens when you distort or misrepresent my actual position to make it easier to disprove. Instead of addressing the actual argument being made by me, you build up a straw man i.e. fake or weaker version of my earlier argument so it is easier to attack. You are actually targeting a position that I never took.

Then why you want to frequent smoky places? Someone point a gun at your head?

Most drink Kaki are smokers. Plus these clubs are where the sexy willing chicks are.

Please encourage smokers to indulge in more cigarettes. They will be more likely to die young.

They are likely to die young due to vaccinations than smoking. Neither smoking causes people to die young nor getting cancer from smoking

Please do not spread misinformation like the hell authorities and the government

It is not a strawman argument. It is a fair statement. I am not putting words in your mouth, I am asking you a question. You can say non smokers have more right or not.
By putting them into square boxes, we are basically cutting away their rights different from the non smokers. Dont you have friends and family members that are smokers? Do you like the authorities to divide smokers and non smokers that are all your friends or you like to tell them off just because they are not non smoker like you? It is a divide and conquer rule that you know very well.

There is a huge difference. When a cigarette is burned, it produces over 7,000 chemicals with at least 250 known to be harmful to human health and more than 69 which are cancer-causing. When a non-smoker crosses paths with a smoker, the latter is doing far more harm to the former. The non-smoker does absolutely no harm to the cigarette lover when they pass each other.

You don’t seek true health. Therefore, knows nothing about health.

I have previously mentioned cancers, heart attacks and many more are modern diseases. “Ancient people do not have these diseases”

And now this doctor have also concluded that.

Where are the 7000 chemicals?

Can observe?
Can measure?
Can test?

If NO, it is just your logical fallacy
Please do use your delusion as reality

Learn science and challenge all these back to the ones who told this made to believe science to the hell authorities and the government who misinformed everyone

Can you just walk away or we need authority to set a law so we can tell our friends off using law?
It is a give and take situation. Considerate Smokers will auto go somewhere else and non smokers can move away if not wanting to inhale second hand smoke isnt it?
Put a law and suddenly non smokers cry blue murder. just like the bad implementation of priority seats in public transport.

Surely you know how to Google, or are you illiterate?

Maybe the Tampines HDB owner should have worked & study harder and earn more money so he could have airconed his entire HDB flat 24/7 to avoid his neighbour’s smoke instead.

The Tampines flat dweller could have studied harder to afford a condo where such problems hardly occur. The few smokers at my condo step out of the back gate to light up i.e. away from the condo's premises and their fellow residents.

Move out of hdb. What do you expect to live among Sinkie retards.
