brain150 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Well ... can somebody please show me PROOF that smoking actually causes cancer or that anybody dies from "smoking" ! And by this I mean SCIENTIFIC PROOF ! For all I know [after quite some research] it is still just an assumption and by no means proven fact ! No hearsay please or general government propaganda ! Proven facts only ! Now this post could be defined as conspiracy theory. No it's a VERY SERIOUS question ! All the laws surrounding smoking are based on an assumption that [to my knowledge] has never been proven to be fact !!! Just because governments, newspapers and other organisations use it to justify what they do [and make money out of it or restrict peoples rights] does NOT mean it's proven fact ! So, it is a very valid question and I would be grateful if somebody could provide this proof. [statistics won't count as statistics can be used to proof or disproof anything any which way anybody wants !] You are right in what you say, it has never been proven to be the thing that killed you, only that it can add to the problem of death, but so can many things, sex has contributed to many heart attacks, but it was not the killer just a contributing aspect to it, same said for smoking, so your point is valid. just like the ad that says smoking CAN cause cancer, not that it WILL cause cancer, because as we know many non smokers die of the same thing as non smokers. Well, that's the same what the WHO claims for micro wave radiation [wifi and ALL mobile phone networks !] So when will Thailand be WiFi and 3G FREE ???

Loptr Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Maybe it's just me, but I would think keeping tourists ALIVE on Koh Tao would be their first priority and not whether someone is smoking in an open-air bar or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have turned off ALL wifi networks I have access to as it is PROVEN FACT that it is very bad for my health ! You don't smoke but are very happy on WiFi [because it does not smell bad] ... whereas it is MUCH more dangerous to your health !!!

Halion Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 They are not merely stupid they are idiots. Drugs are sold openly rape , violence and murders occur. Evidence destroyed, facts are distorted, police are on the take at every level and the locals have nothing to say but lets BS the tourists with a smoke free island.

Cake Monster Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Will this apply to the candles of rememberance for Hannah and David also ? Another ludicrus Thai initiative. Its probably better to do and say nothing, rather than every time you open your mouth to be putting your great big size ten flip-flop in it.

sweatalot Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 "The campaign on the islands are expected to help reduce the number of deaths from smoking, said the Executive Secretary." Try making it a hoe free island that should prevent a few deaths. Unbelievable...... Mafia free would be enough me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweatalot Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 If they do that, it will be tourist free as well. Best of luck. If tourist still come even in spite of the real danger of being murdered or raped may be this will make them stay away there at last That's what should happen - until some really groundbreaking change happens on that murder island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen terry Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) For sake there's alcohol and drugs readily available - what a pathetic attempt. How is anyone going to enforce this? I'm convinced the Thais have no understanding that the prevention of murder is the number one priority. Incarcerate the island perps and things might improve.

catweazle Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Let's hope this cesspit of an island will go up in smoke! This childish attempt to redeem visitor's trust and sympathy sickens me. Those idiots should do a campaign to oust the corrupt RTP officers on that island along with the existing mafia structures instead. "Hey, unknown foreign tourist - looks like your head has been clubbed to a bloody pulp by some island serial killers, but don't worry, I will ban smoking on the island and everything's gonna be ok!"

DaiHard Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Maybe they can ban smoke emmitting buses and pick ups which REALLY cause cancer - more particles in 1 minute than a smoker emits in a lifetime. Btw very odd way of increasing tourism to ban 20%+ of your potential clientel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transam Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Since man found out many millennia back how to make fire he has been breathing in smoke, cooking, warming his hut/castle.
