Cigarettes lead to serious crime

Post by mistermack » Fri Sep 20, 2013 1:56 pm

On the news today, they are thinking of banning smoking in Britain's prisons.
One statistic they mentioned in the piece : 4 out of 5 prisoners smoke.

National average of smokers in Britain : Men 21% Women 19% ......... Overall 20%.

Case proved.

As long as they don't ban sodomy. Then there'll be nothing left to do :dunno:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Smoking is common in spit and sawdust pubs too. Coincidence? Anyone want to buy a used rolex? :smoke:

Do you mean as a child, or last night? There is an inbuilt sex difference for the latter.
Except for lezzers, I suppose.

Thinking about it, maybe the statistic of 4 our of 5 prisoners being smokers might be a false one.
How do they know? Do they check that they are smoking, or just ask them?

If you are a smoker, I think you get issued a cigarette ration, so maybe people say that they smoke to get the ration, which they can exchange for other luxuries like chocolate or gay sex.

Or luxuries such as the absence of gay sex...

Smokers in prison don't get any ration, they have to buy cigarettes.

The liberating effect of dodgy statistics, a clear lack of understanding of cause and effect, and the need to create newspaper headlines means that one can come up with any conclusion one wants.
