Ive never smoked in my life so I dont Know Jack about it....But:Just suppose for a minute that cigarretes had never been invented to date.How many of you smokers,would, individually think up such a silly idea for yourselves without any outside influence? Not so many I bet.It is only so popular because you were born into a world where the habit is 'normal'. You have all been had by the Government who have set up their own equivelent of a drug dealer network. They tempt you with availability so they can get you hooked and then cream off their cut in tax. They tried to make themselves look innocent by banning advertizing some years ago but hey, that was not going to worry their profit margins, they just rely on the suckers that are hopelessly addicted to keep the momentum going for them!
So what about sueing the Governments of the world,not the airlins.Perhaps Lawyerboy could advise. If this idea seems too far fetched then perhaps Ive been getting too much fresh air!
P.S. Lawyerboy, I was wondering if you (or anyone with a flair for Aviation Law) could point me to a definition for 'Airworthy' as this is not specified in JAR 1 definitions section.It's for another topic but I wont go into detail here, in case I get my wrist slapped. Cheers all.
