Smoking banned in the Philippines

what do you mean waste??? money spent on hookers = investment in good time and memories

Yeah, but a car puts out 1000 times toxins that cause cancer in a month than any smoker
could ever do in his life time.

But nobody is banning cars.

Hmmmmmmm?


People will claim that they got lung cancer from secondary smoke at their place
of work; but they fail to tell us that they spent 1 hour a day for the last 10 years
standing on a street corner waiting for the bus ride to and from work.
They breath in the equivalent of 15 packs of cigarette toxins on each round trip
to work because of breathing car exhaust.

But hey, it's the cigarettes!

Bullshit.

No more job for me...

i heard menthol makes man impotent.

They are enforcing it. 500 peso on the spot fine if caught. Mind you... they don't fuck with the foreigners who are lit up... just the locals.

Even with a baby in the car?

Except when dirty smokers throw their butts everywhere then the city has to pay people to clean the mess up. Which come from OUR tax $$$$.

You're free to do whatever the fuck you want as long as it doesn't affect my freedom, health or pocketbook. If not then STFU.

Story of the Philippines. Sadly, the govt enforces all sorts of shit on foreign companies and lets local companies fuck employees, the environment, etc. Plus, foreign companies have to compete with both arms tied behind their back because of the bullshit "economic nationalism" provisions of the 1987 constitution.

The truth of the matter is the Philippines is just like many Spanish-colonized 3rd world countries-a small percentage of the population pimping the rest through fucked up high prices due to monopolies and the government exists to make sure the pimping continues. People vote with their feet--that's why a large chunk of the middle and many of the qualified working class have left. See why: http://www.ich9.com/philippine-econo...inos-are-pigs/

Emigrating doesn't really help those left behind because of this: http://www.ich9.com/philippine-econo...ppine-economy/

True freedom - real freedom can only come from a more open economy and REAL competition in the local marketplace. Sadly, that's not going to happen anytime soon since "nationalists" get moist at the idea of unwittingly helping local monopolists (who are really frontmen for SE Asia plutocrats) by insisting that any opening of the local economy is tantamount to selling out the Philippines' patrimony

Haha... so true

Sounds like where the US is headed 'cept skip the freedom part. Thats over.

blah blah blah but still Philippines is the Asia’s best country for women

Newsweek Ranks Philippines Best Country for Women in Asia

This popular magazine analyzed 165 countries to see which ones offered women the best quality of life. The Philippines ranked 17.

Newsweek Magazine recently released a report entitled "Best and Worst Countries for Women," which ranked 165 countries' treatment of women in terms of rights and quality of life. The Philippines is the only Asian country in the top 20, landing at no. 17 with a score of 86.3 out of 100.

"This is an affirmation of the respect our culture has always accorded to Filipino women—one that manifests itself as well in our government’s efforts to promote equal gender opportunities in all spheres of public policies and programs," presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said in a statement. "Rest assured, our administration remains committed in advancing the quality of life of all Filipinos from all walks of life."

Using data from the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, Newsweek ranked the countries according to different aspects of living: justice, health, education, economics, and politics. European country Iceland got full marks and snagged the top spot in the overall ranks with Sweden, Canada, Denmark, and Finland rounding out the top 5.

Meanwhile, the worst country for women is the Central African country Chad, which got a score of 0. Afghanistan, Yemen, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Mali followed close behind.

so i take it you dont have a car? Thats blowing out carbon monoxide too to unsuspecting people on the sidewalks etc.
Yeah lets ban more and more shit and let the government make more and more rules, that way the world will be a happy safe place. Maybe the government can make a curfew next so that everybody will be asleep at 10pm because too little sleep is also a health hazard.

hide in a back alley and smoke hahaha

actually the info at your link says:
Mint is a substance, that is known for it's "infertility" effect, but not "impotence"
