New York City Smokers have presented a petition to the United Nations General Assembly through the French Embassy asking for the right of return as the oppressive Bloomberg regime continues to restrict and harass them. The petition was considered a non-starter before smoking was banned in all city parks, beaches and public spaces in May. Now delegates of former colonial powers are seeing first hand the tyranny imposed on smokers under God’s roof.
Second hand smoke is not the issue as there are no studies to support the danger of being in sight of someone smoking outdoors. City council members claimed that littering was a concern but since there are already laws against this it is irrelevant.
The issue is class warfare and racism. In a city built on the trade of tobacco, where the average day’s air quality is more dangerous than smoking two packs of cigarettes a day anti-smoking hysterics now do not want to see anyone smoking. The question is who smokes?
Statistics show that the less money you make and the darker your skin the more likely it is you are a smoker. Smoking is the poor man’s comfort. Though the mayor’s office has claimed that smoking has decreased in the city they are going by local tobacco sales that are the highest taxed in the country. Even uneducated immigrants have figured out that those taxes can be avoided for a five dollar round trip ride on the Path train to New Jersey. (The New York City and State taxes on one pack amount to more than that,)
As the aging Yuppies who moved to New York from the suburbs found that their money and connections could override the rights of the poorer and more ethnically diverse native New Yorkers smoking laws became a weapon to shape the city to their liking.
Over a decade ago the Yuppies moved en masse to low rent party districts in Manhattan and Brooklyn then pressed to have the bars and restaurants cleared of cigarette smoke while allowing the far more toxic smoke of paraffin table candles to continue. Pushing up the rents on the artists and locals they then besieged their police precincts with complaints of noise. The noise was smokers forced outside to smoke conversing.
Why anyone would move to the East Village, Meat Packing District or Dumbo and expect suburban peace and quiet can only be explained by this group’s unreasonable sense of entitlement or just plain stupidity.
The Yuppies transportation of choice even in the most urban area of the country with the best public transportation system in the world is the SUV or Suburbanite Uber Volt (Suburbanites over the people), which is exempt from EPA standards and is estimated to produce an exhaust 10,000 times more toxic than tobacco smoke. Car exhaust, unlike tobacco smoke, does not dissipate but remains part of the air we all breath until it rains heavily.
So as children are less and less exposed to tobacco smoke they suffer more and more from asthma, bronchitis and deadly allergies. Even the most creative and manipulated scientific studies have been unable to explain this to the satisfaction of the oppressors.
Could it be that the affluent SUV and other big car drivers who live and work in climate controlled enviroments are murdering the poor minority smokers and are trying to deflect the blame by demonizing them?
The United Nations will decide.
NYC smokers are rebelling against segregation, employment and health care discrimination and demanding the right of return to bars, parks and beaches. They are taxed higher than any other American. While the health hysterics have returned to the tactics of their vegetarian and tobacco-despising hero Adolph Hitler the international community has reacted.
Pinwar Swinbowsie, delegate of Bong Congo explained:
“Americans are haters. The only reason they have not become more globally oppressive is because there are always voters whose ancestors came from wherever. In order to protect themselves from endless civil war they have created laws to protect the different groups defined by race, religion, gender and such. But they have to have a demon so they turn their insatiable prejudice on behavior groups. There are too many fat people so obesity is protected. So they pick on the smokers. Smokers are the new niggers.”
