# it's to the very tip of being banned
push it any further and it will be illegal

illegal to do something as old as the human race itself
since we first discovered fire, we've smoked
and we've survived, we've lived on

but it doesn't fit the governments little view
of us all as battery hens, making sure they squeeze
every last tax drop out of my working bones
just so they can spend it on posh lunches in brighton

# That's a falsehood
NHS spending due to smoking related illness outweighs taxation revenue. So, people die and taxpayers fund it.

# Rubbish - you can't smoke inside with a pint in your hand. So?
and the government which has been so strongly set against you throughout history has played a significant role in getting people to smoke, in the interest of the government at the expense of the people.

Also I don't think you can argue that smoking is as inate a human characteristic as, for example, making fire, music or whatever...

although apparently it is the reason why America speaks English rather than French or Spanish
