Which of these is a bigger threat to health?

Being a US soldier in Afghanistan, or Iraq, or indeed, anywhere where there's people trying to kill you with IEDs and suicide bombers?

OR

Smoking?

Someone needs to get their priorities sorted.

It won't be too long before soldiers there and here are being told that their smoking is putting their comrades lives in jeopardy because YOU can't function properly.

Divide and conquer. Works every time.

Oh, please, the divide and conquer tactic is the socialist's main weapon.

ACTUALLY, given Obugger's continuing apology tour, it won't be long before the soldiers are told their smoking is putting THE ENEMY'S lives in jeopardy.

Smoking is a LOT more dangerous than being a soldier, even in high-intensity warfare. It's quite the most dangerous thing that normal people do. It's comparable in risk to being Bomber Command aircrew during WW2 (albeit spread over many more years).

But it's a CHOICE. And the health fascists can get bent.
