The Anonymous Widower

British American Tobacco Sponsored Reform UK Conference

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article in The Times.

This is the sub-heading.

Nigel Farage has promised to scrap the law that will ban everyone born after 2008 from smoking

These are the first two paragraphs of the article.

The maker of Lucky Strike and Dunhill cigarettes was a prominent sponsor at the annual conference of Reform UK, which has vowed to scrap the incoming lifelong smoking ban.

British American Tobacco and its Omni brand, an initiative to further its nicotine products business, was the sponsor on lanyards worn by delegates at the party’s conference in Birmingham this month.

Let’s hope that a serious politician protects us from this dangerous individual.

I write as someone, who lost his wife, because her tutor at university, insisted on smoking Capstan Full Strength all through tutorials.

She used to smell of tobacco smoke, a lot of the time.

My wife died of a squamous cell carcinoma of the heart in 2007, which is not a nice way to go. Papworth said it was a delayed secondary cancer from all that smoke-filled atmosphere many years before.

Few years earlier, she had fully recovered from serious breast cancer, but then she got the totally unrelated secondary cancer.

Her sad death is one of several, that are highlighted in this post about a study at Cambridge University, which I wrote about in Study Highlights Increased Risk Of Second Cancers Among Breast Cancer Survivors.

Sadly, her selfish tutor is still with us.
