Who is really driving UN’s anti-tobacco agenda?

Faith GoldyArchive

Earlier this year, Lauren Southern and I travelled to Delhi, India to report on the UN "nanny state" conference on tobacco regulation.

You can see all our reports here — you'll notice that we fought hard to get the truth about the United Nation's regulatory plans for the rest of us.

The organization banned reporters and one was physically removed from a meeting, while local farmers were also prevented from protesting this threat to their livelihoods.

After we returned, Eric Gagnon of Imperial Tobacco Canada contacted me to talk about the many stakeholders who were also shut out of this one-sided globalist conference.

Today he joins me for an in-depth conversation about regulations, personal responsibility and what I believe is the UN's anti-capitalist agenda disguised as a concern over our "health."

Even before we knew cigarette smoke was poison to the user and the people around the user, we knew that it STINKS. Isn’t that enough? If you must smoke, be human enough to go away from innocent by-smellers. Cigarette, cigar, pipe, vape…all of it… STINKS.

It will be perfect if the US removes their funding (billions) and Donald Trump has the incite to do it.

All that said, the UN is a gang of dictators who just want the first-world’s money.

After decades of getting home from the club and needing a shower, I’ve been overjoyed the smoke-breathers now have to take their crap outside. Non-smokers became the world majority about the turn of the century. No Sympathy, you selfish addicts.

Smoking is Cool. The UN is all L7 Square daddio.

“It’s up to every adult to decide,” except we are all forced to pay for your healthcare.

Seriously who gives a flying f*ck what the UN wants anyways, who the hell voted them into power? They can all get bent.

Bill Elder gotta love government hypocrites who profit from the things they claim to hate so much.
I wonder what Notley would do if they outlawed them? Probably buy smuggled cigs from natives since she is a filthy hypocrite.

I wonder how much it costs Canadians to pay for our Leader and his Cohorts to belong to the Saudi Club. Run by the Sheik’s who’s favorite pastime is to travel to London City Gay Bars and commit what is a crime, punishable by death, in their own Country.

No matter what the cost, it is called a Sin Tax in Canada.

Tobacco, .alcohol, pot and gambling – 4 government vice-based monopolies where the retail mark up is tax. Vice based monopolies where costs are sold as moral imperatives – If the toxins of these vices don’t kill the the hypocrisy of government virtue posing while profiting on the vices will.

Being an intolerant ex-smoker I know all three sides of this issue.
Smoking is an expensive addiction – $/health – some say it’s as hard to kick as heroin, and you smell like an ashtray.
I am also a free market capitalist who will not stand for someone telling me what I can consume or not.
This is just one more attempt by the Globalists – Canadian and UN Globalists – to dismantle sovereign Western nations and subjugate Western people.
Death to the UN and all those grubby little psychopaths and tyrants running it!

I do not smoke either smoke product, being a former competitive long distance runner, because both produce the carcinogenic by-products equally which kills the oxygen absorption. However, those that choose burning their lungs as opposed to long term running injuries, it is the right of their life. I am now a burden on the health care due to my healthy life style of running…what is the difference to smoking?

So I guess we ban all pleasure from everyone…except Laurentian elites.

No wonder the media party is failing. The new media is leading the way to information with new programs like THE REBEL MEDIA and other internet media do. I doubt the CBC, CTV, OR GLOBAL would give a fair and balanced report like THE REBEL does. I wonder when the U.N. will out law back yard BAR B QUES or when Truedope puts at tax on charcoal.
REBELS take advantage of the low beef prices because we’re going to see a steep price increase I the next couple of months due to the carbon tax. Get ready to say goodbye to a nice juicy hamburger or steak and boycott halal meats and products.

Marijuana is a leftist libtard celebrity kool antiestablishment thing to do , even though it’s more harmful to your lungs and brain
Lame brains and children are known to vote for shallow vacouse politicians that present as a Mary janer, and is he ever a merry janer

I do not understand this stupid country we live in. Marijuana will cause health issues as well as car accidents.
