Start singin'!


The pro-freedom, anti-ban crowds have a storehouse of music: All Light Up, Jackboot (the official song of FORCES International), and the music of Joe Jackson! Also, here's a music video for you: The Smoking Ban Song! Now, that last one is very Scottish and does have some strong language; click the free trailer or opt to buy the DVD.

NYC C.L.A.S.H. Anthem (by Tom Petty)

NYC C.L.A.S.H. Theme Song (by Joe Jackson)

Oh, here's a dilly--try this on for size:

Freedom 2 B Ourselves, which has been made into a video presented by Freedom2Choose!

The Do-Gooders sip mineral water
And sit eating their protein pills
In rooms that were once filled with drinkers
And smokers who bore no-one ill

The Pubs They Are a Closin’
Cos the Health Fascists have got their way
But we need the Freedom to Be Ourselves
Whatever the do-gooders say

So don’t go outside your front door
Cos its all too much of a risk
You might breathe in somebody’s car fumes
Or you might just go and slip a disc

Yes, The Pubs They Are a Closin’
Cos the Health Fascists have got their way
But we need the Freedom to be Ourselves
Whatever the killjoys may say

Don’t give us anymore wine bars
We want the traditional pub
Where people are smokin’ and drinkin’
And Eating traditional grub

Yes , The Pubs They Are a changin’
Cos the Health Fascists have got their way
But we need the Freedom To Choose ourselves
People can decide things for themselves
We need the Freedom to be ourselves
Whatever the do-gooders say

Freedom
Freedom
Now, sample some cool poetry, F2C-style:

SMOKE....INN

Down at the OLD BULL, all covered in Grass
A bald headed smoker, was scratching his A*se!
The pipe in his right hand,was smouldering well,
He entered the pub...Aah, someone might tell!

He dodged the odd anti, pushed others afar 
It was a big mission,... to get to the bar. 
His friends they did follow, wow they love him,
Somebody shouted..... GO FOR IT JIM!

He lept on the table, along with his pal
The Antis were closing, oh what the hell.
He smirked at the councillor, blew smoke in her eye,
Don't give me that look, or i might cry. [not]

The Antis were squirming, wriggling in seats,
Oh no, it is poison, call the smoking police!
But Baldy, is crafty, he just doesn't care
He loves every minute, of poluting their air.

Quick get an ashtray,....'case i litter the pub
Lets have a smoke in....instead of posh grub.
Antis looked gobsmacked....god it was great
Jim was ecstatic...lets revolt in this place.

Down at the old bull, all covered in grass
Jim's now a legend...The ban a big farce
So all at f2, prepare and prepare well,
Soon it will be time... to go give them Hell!

Another gem from TraceRace at F2C! Thanks so much! Keep up the good work--and the good fight!
Witch Doctor Disease

You criticize me with your words of disdain,
But the truth will out--and I will remain.
I'm good to myself, thank you very much.
So, if you believe that smokes are my crutch,
Then maybe you project your own weakness--
You need to cast stones, that's my best guess.

A speck in my eye but a log in yours.
False leaders abound--when it rains, it pours.
To strengthen your crutch, you need to deceive.
Drug-ridden studies to nourish your peeves.
(Real life belies the shoddy statistics.
Keep it up and you're in a fix!)
Rely on fabricated images,
Destroy liberty in growing stages.

Your sins are too clear; you're ashamed, I'll bet.
So, you shun the hallmarks of plain etiquette.
But beliefs have a way of coming to life,
So, make sure you profess what's honest and right.
Speak dire predictions and one might come true.
The sour fruit borne of the likes of you.

My life is my own and you're not welcome
To spread ignorance and strife in my home.
When witch doctor's claims and hex effect reigns,
We rise and become the voice of the sane.
Our strength and will can only prove
That the cancer of tyranny lies in you.

Where does this lead? This talk of disease?
Harm the people of whom you speak,
Only to descend the slippery slope
And extinguish the light of your best hope.
Will you continue your tirades of hate,
When your body becomes property of State?

The bloody business of antismoking,
Where fools and nonsense are queen and king.
Your puerile tactics are foolish and base,
Take your words of doom and get out of my face!
Your malice means nothing.
Death, where is thy sting?

Man, Witchy-Poo, you need to do some yoga!

The first thing we need to do is rid ourselves of the nasty ol' Witch Doctor Effect and replace those horrid "health warnings" that have come to plague cigarette packages. Some of those warnings are also very graphic and misleading. So, reminding our good time readers that our cousins from across the Great Pond have a different term for "cigarettes," try replacing those sick images with FakeFags Stickers! The messages are hilarious, like "don't tell my mum" and "my gran smokes 40 a day and she's 93". Or, download and print your own sticker labels with Smoking cures - Relax with a Cigarette.

Try a T-shirt just for you! Get them from Behind Bars Designs and Smokers' Tees, which has lots of other fun stuff like magnets, bumper stickers and more! (Note especially the T-shirt that says, "I Smoke and I Vote!") The Smokers' Tees also has a primary site, with a wealth of Fun Stuff--including food and drinks!--as well as political empowerment and a great deal of common sense.

Try A Smoker's Guide to the "Cool" Ways to Smoke!, including French Inhaling, Lighter Trick, Shotgunning, Smoke Bubbles, Smoke Rings and Zippo Trick. (These tricks are from Smokers with Attitude. Click on the Cool Smoking link on the left.)

Tired of hearing whiners tell you that you stink because you smoke? Hand 'em a tobacco-scented candle and tell 'em to hush! Also great for those bars that have lost something in the rush to ban smoking everywhere. (Well, okay, it isn't exactly the same as a smoky bar but we can try to pretend, can't we?)

I know this will bring a smile to your lips: I'd rather smoke than kiss by Florence King (National Review, 7/9/90, Vol. 62 Issue 13, p32. Also, see Smokin' Good Quotes. For more fun literature, I hope to offer a PDF of great poetry from the talented folks at Freedom2Choose. (Honestly, that organization is harboring UN-BELEEEEV-ABLE talent!) Some poetry can be seen on the Big Team (AKA Good Company) page. In the meantime, while we wait for the collection of F2C poetry, I'll offer one little poem on the right. Enjoy!

Well, the press/media tries it's best to shut-out ron Paul--and being a constitutionalist, he's probably our best bet for cracking open the secondhand smoke scare scam...can you say that five times real fast? Well, here's a little something for your political funny bone: Hillary Nutcracker. Well, she did something to Bill to get him to enact baseless smoke bans in Federal buildings, despite the fact that he does seem to enjoy playing with his cigars. *ahem* (PS Paul will probably get us out of the Middle-East as safely as possible, too.)

Here's a cute--and pretty darned poignant--little Liberty Animation.

And, oh, sit back and drink in the images of Classic Smoking!

Compare and contrast antismokers and people who smoke on Americans All. It's hysterical--and TRUE!

Still smoking, and proud of it -- wonderful article on pipes and smoking from Murder of Ravens.

*** GREAT IDEA ALERT ***
A Great idea from an alert smoker, Jay's Smokers' Rights Blog, is to Mark your money with SMOKERS MONEY if you smoke. Here's the scoop:

On Great American Smokeout Day, do not spend your money if you smoke. Stock up on thangs that you need before that day. And afta that day, mark all of your dollar bills with "SMOKERS MONEY." Maybe when people start seeing dollar bills with SMOKERS MONEY on them, that will make society and anti orgs think twice on abusing smokers' money! Because society takes smokers money for granted.
Can you imagine the great wailing-and-gnashing-of-teeth from rAntis who are forced to realize that they can no longer take money from people who smoke without appreciating it?! Yes, I know that it's a political statement, but it's a very FUN idea and belongs amongst our Fun Stuff!

In the mood for some good videos?

I hope you will also find Fun Stuff in the Funnies File, Socializing and Famous pages. (Well, and, for the bookworms among us, maybe some enjoyment can be found in the Must Reads section.)

You probably won't have as much fun with Fun Stuff if you feel unwelcome. So, check the Smoker Friendly Resource to see where you'll be most welcome.
