Schwarzenegger brengt roken terug

By 20 jaar ago

Gouverneur Arnold Schwarzenegger, sigarenliefhebber, brengt roken terug in de regeringsgebouwen van anti-rokenstaat Californië: hij wil een sigarenbar installeren tijdens feestjes in de ‘Capitol’.


Het eerste feestje is gepland op Valentijnsdag…


Smoked out: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is embarking on his most risky and controversial campaign — he wants to bring smoking back to the Capitol. The Austrian Oak, who makes no secret of his love for fine cigars, is planning to turn his private outdoor patio into a cigar bar during parties. The first smoker event is scheduled for Valentine’s Day. It’s invitation only, with the guest list vetted for anti-smokers who might raise a stink. “There will be some people who complain, but they better get used to it,” a Capitol insider said.

  • I've alllllllways said that asking smokers "do you want to quit?" and reporting the results of that question, as is, is horribly misleading. It's a TWO part question. After asking if one wants to quit it must be followed up with "Why?" Ask why and the majority of the answers will be "because I'm supposed to" (victims of guilt and propaganda), not "because I want to."
