In the radio interview (below) you can listen as Dr Wendy Richardson (Director of Public Health for Hull) admits “we’ve tried shock tactics by showing them cards with diseased lungs, hearts etc. but it is not working and we are almost back to using fear tactics like telling them they will get cancer, heart disease and strokes…”
Dr Wendy Richardson
Thankfully she didn’t get it all her own way by the interviewer, Peter Levy. On hand was fellow blogger Patsy Nurse, who is a strong denouncer of the smoking ban on her blog Tea and Cigarettes.
Patsy also ran as a PPC (Prospective Parliamentary Candidate) for UKIP at the last election in the Lincolnshire area.Click picture below to play.

"shock tactics by showing 'THEM' ..."
"fear tactics like telling 'THEM' ..."
So it's the nameless, faceless, "THEM" - the "enemy" "of the people".
This is like something out of war propaganda used to define an "enemy", to degrade and dehumanize, so that getting the majority on board with annhilating "THEM" becomes ever so much easier.
Propaganda - pure and simple.
The same evil magick trick used through the ages, nothing "good" in that other than by pulling ranks among the "experts" and upper-classes, to get everyone on board with doing their bidding for them, at the elimination and destruction of the other "THEM", the "enemy", the "uncleansed", the "filthy".
Yes, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha and Moses would agree with "them". They are the righteous of course. God is always on the side of "them", not "THEM", the "filthy" lepors.
All love and roses, this current batch of rulers, just like their propaganda and image portrays.
Nothing new then.
Yep Anon, chilling, isn't it.
Don't need to listen to the harpie since she and her ilk are on BBC Radio every day.

Yeah Yeah Yeah, just like when I was at school in the 1970's and my GP promised me death before I reached 20. Epic Fail GP.
"We are trying to denormalise smoking."
Perhaps what she should have said is, we believe in persecuting smokers. After all it is the same thing.
Forcing people to stand outside pubs in the pouring rain or making them stay at home, instead of having the decent social lives that they used to.
This woman believes the price should possibly be put up by fifty percent; so many of those in the lower income brackets will, in reality have less money to spend on food.
She is also deluded enough to believe that people would not buy from gangs, if they knew it was linked to other crime. There is nothing fair about the price of tobacco in this country. I don't think anyone cares, so long as they can save money on cigarettes. Dr Richardson is clearly totally out of touch with the reality, but then so are the majority of the antis.
They want cigarettes hidden from view in shops, a move clearly intended to make adults feel intimidated (nothing at all, to do with children) which will result in more adults buying illegally.
It really is them and us.
Well done to Pat Nurse, great interview.
She looks like a background creature from a Star Wars prequel. No wonder she wants to spread the joy.
