ciggies or alchy?

why can alcohol be advertised and ciggys not?
its been frustrating me for the last few weeks....

In some states they can't even advertise alcohol. In bars where there could be minors they have to cover up all the ETN's and bottles with black sheets so you can't see them. Children also aren't even allowed to hear pokies let alone see them. Seriously how fucking tight is that. Like a kid is going to turn into a pokie addict because they hear the sound. But the problem of no advertising for Cigarettes is annoying. The same as how they took the strength off the packs. Now if I want to buy a different brand I have no idea what to get.

exactly. hell, if they can ban pokie sounds, smokes "illicit" drugs, why not alcohol?
just doesnt make sense to me considering the most deaths in aust are caused from ciggys n alchy. wtf?

Because when the laws are designed the primary concern is revenue from tax, not common sense nor public safety.

I find the anti-smoking ads make me wanna light up so technically the ciggie companies are still advertising to people like me.

On the other hand, all the pro-alcohol adverts actually put me off drinking.

Go figure.

Speaking of cigarettes I want to ring up the Quit line oneday. When they ask me what makes me feel like smoking I'll tell them that it's when I breathe fresh air.

Why do you need advertising for cigarettes? Don't most smokers just ask for what you normally buy anyway?

I mean, it's not like you're going to see a Malborough advert and think "Hmmm, I really admire that gay cowboy, think I might switch to them instead of my usual Eccy Reds"...

 

I am feeling pretty gross about smoking today since seeing that lung cancer ad..

Urghh. I am going to try a lot harder this week not to smoke at all...see how that goes.

It's more the strength factor that annoys me. So instead of cigarettes being 8's or 10's or something they are blues, which could be anything from 6 to 12 or something different again.

Cigarettes cause cancer. Alcohol causes sex with ugly people.

I think it's about equal !!

 

Equal? I'm not so sure. I think we need a poll!

Yeah ... some people might prefer the sex with the ugly person.
I personally would prefer cancer.

Cancers not so bad. Probably gonna get Bowel Cancer when I'm older. Getting to poo into a bag? Wheres the downside there!

That's because you are a maverick and don't choose to play by societies rules.

Is that a Daniel Kitson reference?

I've got the Layle track stuck in me head now!

Hahahaha! I love that track your thinking of Keyser!

Me too!     One of my faves!

You know it! Such a funny bastard.


"What ya pick Daran for? He's fookin shit! Is this a team or a chairty? I don't about you but I play to win."

Are you going to any of his shows whilst he is down here? It is quite possibly the main thing on my fringe agenda.

I dunno um, maybe having to carry it around like some sort of accessory?

 I mean, what kind of shoes even go with a poo bag?

i really need a cigarette right now 

im getting that chest craving where you feel like ripping your rib cage apart with bare fingers!!! 

Mmmmm. Think I might have one in a second... and then another one 20 minutes later... and so on.

yeah i just had one!  aahhhh!

I actually had no idea he was here this year. Think I'll have to look into it. I haven't seen him live before.

Think I might have one now. One once that ones finished. Light another one up to be prepared a little bit before it's finished...

brown ones

Hahahahahahahaha

Of course!

oh khemo

 

Fuck, just woke up and have no motherfucking smokes!!!! Aaaaaarrrgghhh!!!

breathe...drink some water...eat some food...not see that wasnt so bad was it?

Done, done, done. Still no smokes! 

I keep a back up pack of rollies lying around just to prepare for this kind of emergency.

just go through your ashtray! you'll be right!   

The problem is I smoke right down to the butt, so there ain't much point searching through the rubble! Damnit, I'm so fucking lazy. Seriously considering seeing if a servo will deliver them to me if I give em an extra 20 bucks! 

* Fuck it, going to the shops now. Can not hold out any longer!!!

You lasted alot longer than I would have.

It was tough.

 I must have picked up 200  butts off our back lawn today (though the ashtray did spill out so most were from that).

 There are still loads more to go too

 No-one that lives here even smokes :spew:
