That slippery slope that doesn’t exist?

Like a soft drink do you? Well get ready to be de-humanised for it over the next few years.

Smokers such as myself have already experienced it. But is only just starting for the lovers of soft drinks.

For smokers it first started with colossal rises in tax on tobacco products.

Guess what, soft drink lovers, it's going to happen to you in the near future.

Thousands of cases of diabetes and cancer could be avoided, saving the NHS £300million, by putting a health tax of 12p a can on sugary drinks, it is claimed. (My bold: They don’t actually know)

Academics have calculated the likely reduction in consumption caused by putting up the price of full sugar drinks like Coca-Cola and Pepsi and the resulting health benefits.

The work by experts at the University of Liverpool and the Children’s Food Campaign will fuel the growing campaign to extend the principle of a duty on unhealthy products from cigarettes and alcohol to some types of drink and food.

The start of your fall from grace begins there. They actually admit to wishing to follow the tobacco control template

Health campaigners and doctors have controversially likened sugar and its contribution to obesity and ill-health as the ‘new tobacco’.

Next will be horrendous images of diseased kidneys, rotting teeth, and pictures of ill people in bed  covering your can of delight.

The next step will be to of course will continue with fizzy pop being hidden behind screens for “THE SAKE OF THE CHEEEELDREN”.

You tell me what comes next….

I told you so.

Remember this post from a few days ago where I stated the obvious?

Even if readers here are non smokers. Be afraid. They'll be after your guilty little pleasure next. The bansturbators pleasure will be you next.

Like a soft drink occasionally? You sinner, you.

Just ONE can of fizzy drink a day increases heart attack risk by a third - and could lead a STONE of weight gain over a year

• New campaign challenges 'damage' caused by Coca-Cola and Pepsi
• Campaigners say consumers are unaware of the risks of these drinks
• The campaign called GULP – Give Up Loving Pop – has been created by the Health Equalities Group and supported by NHS and local authorities
• Also highlights links between drinks and tooth decay and type 2 diabetes

They’re coming for you now, you pop fanciers. Soon they’ll be bans on fizzy drinks in pubs. This will be followed by bans in public parks and play areas. Soon to be followed by bans in all public areas. We must think of the “Cheeeeeeeldren”.is the cry. (As a smoker I got used to it).

Of course this is another state funded socket puppet masquerading as a charity.

This article is dedicated to the commenter who posted this under my last article on bans. Here’s his words of wisdom.

I doubt it, probably just ban smoking and that will be it. At worst they will go on to ban other distracting things while driving. But hardly going to be the next USSR. Non smokers can relax I think. Smoking ban never affected them either, only the inconsiderate behind the times smokers.

Do you understand now that the state hates you as well as smokers?
