I would think this is the least of their problems
Chilean miners requests for alcohol and cigarettes turned down by Nasa
Requests for alcohol and cigarettes by the 33 trapped Chilean miners have been refused by a Nasa doctor and they have instead been given nicotine patches to get them through their ordeal.
I can see the reason for ‘No Alcohol’ they’re already on anti-depressants, stressful situation etc. that could lead to violence, bum sex or something.
But fags, FFS why?
Cigarettes were deemed to be bad for their health in such an enclosed space,
Ah, the old passive smoking.
But they have been given both patches and nicotine gum to help them counter withdrawal symptoms.
Why do you think the Army used to have a cigarette ration before the bansturbators got to it. Because they were found to be calming and relaxing under stressful conditions. Something which I can testify a nicotine patch or gum is most definitely not.
Dr Duncan said: “It’s an environment that’s pretty enclosed and we don’t want to contribute to any of the problems within the atmosphere of the mine.”
No, you’re a government Doctor and saw an opportunity to advance your fascist agenda and force your lifestyle choices once more on others.
If I was one of those Chilean miners and I eventually got out (and that's by no means certain)
I would find out who denied me my fags for two/three months, hunt them down, tear off their head and shove my remaining patches and gum down their neck. Whilst screaming.
There, don’t you feel more relaxed and healthy
Actually probably not, they'd just use him as the poster child for how really eeeeevil cigarettes are. “See” they'd say “Look what smoking made them do!”
Dr Duncan, I despise you with every fibre of my being.

It's not because of gases down t'mine? Smoking is banned down many mines, also spark producing equipment. Then, obviously they'd go and blast great chunks out with dynamite. Which would make the whole town shake.
I thought that at first, but it's not mentioned in the story and used as the excuse.
Dangerous methane build up, sparks, fire etc. No it's all about their health and possible 'air quality' issues standard anti-smoking rhetoric.
If if it turns that was the case and a retraction is made, fair enough.
He's still a twat though.
And good score on the APILN. She said, without a trace of bitterness.
The problem is Pseudo, It's a the fact you live the wrong way up and as everyones knows a frown is is just a smile turned upside down, so you are always smiling.
Add to that the fact that if anyone does get angry, they just remember that "Hey, I live in Australia" and they just smile. at least it's how I imagine it would be if I lived there
Another one today!
Facade slipping.
I've been on a downer where blogging is concerned since last Sunday so I've kept away from the news on the net and missed this one PC, thanks for the heads up though, it may be just what I need to write about to lift me out of my blogging doldrums. :)

There's no methane or any other dangerous gas down a copper mine.
The Dr. is just exercising his evil powers. What an anal sphincter!
