Australia bans tobacco branding
#20
RE: Australia bans tobacco branding
I said I will not argue the point,and I will not. Here I respond to your method of argument:

Quote:Thankyou pad ..I will pass on these FACTS to my friends children who have emphysema, Lung cancer and are unable to travel 1km without Bronchiodialators



Quote:And are only against smoking ..have you looked up the 'healthy' ones?? The sports injuries, bicycle riding, Mountain biking, Bushwalking injuries and deaths??



Quote:The point I am trying to insert here is the EMOTIONALISM attached the the 'Anti Smoking programe' and it's incongruity with real life.



Each of the above statements are straw men. IE May be true but are irrelevant.


You have not refuted my position,and indeed in the first statement resort to the emotionalism of which you accuse others..

Quote:A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.
