Brigitte Bardot avec cigarette
>Jacques Chirac, who, according to a recent unauthorised biography, slept with a packet of Marlboros on his bedside table.
OMG! Smoking American cigarettes??
Hey, Jascque! - toss me one of those cowboys ...
Sounds like the French still have that rebellious spirit the socialists have beaten out of this country. We have become a nation of sheeple.
Well if a full scale revolt against the smoking ban stupidity is going to happen it would be in France. The Italians accepted it meekly, and so have Americans. I wish I smoked so I could defy the bans myself.
As she ought to be remembered........
I do however admire her for this:
With the publication of her 2003 book A Scream in the Silence the reclusive Bardot has come under considerable fire for what some of her critics have termed her “anti-muslim and homophobic” comments.
In May 2003 the MRAP announced it would sue Bardot for her published views.
Another organization - the “Ligue des Droits de l’Homme” (League of Human Rights) - announced they were also considering similar legal proceedings.
Bardot, in a letter to a French gay magazine, wrote in her defense: ‘Apart from my husband - who maybe will cross over one day as well - I am entirely surrounded by homos.’
On 10 June 2004 Bardot was convicted by a French court of ‘inciting racial hatred’ and fined 5,000 €, the fourth such conviction/fine she has faced from French courts. The courts cited passages where Bardot referred to the “Islamization of France” and the “underground and dangerous infiltration of Islam”.
Now, that took some spine!
I can’t imagine that declaring yourself a communist is a rite of passage in France.
Your teenage years are supposed to be years of rebellion against your parents’ values.
Socailism is mainstream in France. Where is the rebellion in being a Trotskyist.
Now declaring one’s self to be a Reaganite that would be rebellion in France!
Dang that one cig made her look 40 years older. It’s a good thing that the liberials are going to force the freedom of clean air on these people. The unenfranked yutes will be placated by this.
I enjoy a big, fat cigar about once a month, just to prevent my body from being completely lulled into complacency :-)
I don't know if that makes me a 'smoker', but I did what I could to prevent my home State, The People's Republic of Washington, from going down this antismoking path, but to no avail :-(
Fatty, good-tasting foods will be next. Eventually we will all be forced to live to 120, being desperately miserable every single day.
I thought those were off limits to the authorities.
Adults take responsibility for their own actions, but children need caretakers.
No Smoking within 150 feet of store entrance
I thought to myself, hmm, 150 feet would put me in the middle of the highway. Ridiculous

Perhaps this ban might FINALLY wake up the French as to the worthlessness of Socialism?
I won't hold my breath....it hasn't happened anywhere else. Wherever the hysterical, fanatical antismoking Gauleiters roost, the cancer of jackbooted antismoking dogma and it's iron fist of Government control invariably metastasizes.
A smoking ban? Mon Dieu! The next thing you know, they’ll be making them bathe every day.
Almost as stupid as parking garages having "no smoking" signs. Automobile exhaust. Now that's much less dangerous than cigarette smoke.
