Smoking is becoming unpopular and less widespread. If the government cared about its ill effects on the public, they would legislate to ban the sale of tobacco and tobacco products to people born from the year 2000 onwards. They won't because the revenue they collect from it is too great. Really, they couldn't care less about the health of the public. They are disingenuous to suggest otherwise. 

That said, I'd prefer that our players didn't smoke.

Banning it wouldn't do anything. That's a bad move to ban them entirely. Only makes them cooler then.

They heavily tax them and plaster death all over the boxes.

I think the government response and legislation (in terms of public smoking) has been the perfect way to marginalise smoking and smokers.

And meanwhile, the Jesse puff on a ciggie is still a rubbish news story.

[Wrecker45 3,378]

Our best 2 players have been caught smoking. I'm starting to think we should be encouraging it.

If Jesse smokes joints, it might explain his wonky run ups for goal.

I think he needs a smoke before a shot for goal to calm his nerves.

Hiring a ciggie runner could be a good job creation initiative by the MFC.

Mainly electronic acts

I'm about 50 years behind in my reading viz a viz commenting on the lineup but the wineries look inviting.

Say it ain't so, Jesse.

Roger Daltrey more my era, likewise the movie which is older.

Was anyone watching with binoculars the three quarter time break of Geelong's in our game with them. The reason i am interested is because Fox does not show even a glimpse of any three quarter time break duration anywhere, and i am wondering why?

Just on a completely related matter, they were exceptionally good and fast and rejuvenated in that last quarter, what with their two best players on the mettle after a torrid three previous quarters. Water is a wonderful fillip....

It's a slippery slope Jesse is on.

Smoking to drugs to wanting to join Essendon in the off season.

Rec drugs is more West Coast's territory. So far more concerning.

 

lol @ all this fuss over having a dart at a music festival.

[Deestroy All 14,261]

I'm more worried about his choice of music.

WOW !!! , sorry about your Dad but you are unbelievable you gotta joking right? wasting away !!! he was at a music festival !!! so what if he had a smoke at least he wasnt doing anything else which would have been there, oh he probably had a drink too again so what !! 

You dont know how bad his dad is and it would be very stressful, he is human and family comes first and its better than keeping it bottled up or else you can turn bitter and twisted and he hasnt compromised anything, he has let his hair down a little bit, so what !!! you dont know how much pressure he has on him over his dad for all we know that could have been a factor in his striking offence, just because you can put your emotion aside does not mean others can.

  

 

Fair enough comment!

Just done some Math

A pack a day smoker will pay between $150-$175 bucks a week assuming $ 25 bucks a pkt

Over a month that = $600- 700 odd bucks

Over a year = over  $ 7, 000,00 

Over 10 years = 70 grand

Hnmm big bucks for a product that seriously halms your health and can kill you!

Now aint that info a breath of fresh air?

Just sayin

 

 

You his accountant?

Just like when John Safran famously sent out the remote control ciggie delivery seagull to Shane Warne during a match.

It panders to the outrage industry and one of the most pc periods of all time.

Can't remember the fellow's name but during the final of the long jump at the Sydney Olympics the Aussie competitor would actually have a [censored] between jumps.

This was on TV for the world to see. I don't think he got as much stick as Jessie is getting ATM.

FMD. Let it blow over.

Or stub it out even.

The censored out bit is the politically incorrect word for cigarette.

Last time we won a flag blokes were having a dart and a sherry at 3/4 time, take it as a good omen. Personally I'm disappointed it wasn't a cigar.

The cigar can wait until the evening of September 30th -- couldn't care less what they do that night in celebration.

There's a decent few in every club that does it mate.

Hogan is not the only one in our team that doesn't mind the occasional dart, and im not talking about Maxy.
