Does this spell trouble for online cigar videos?

Yep, I am that anti-French, ask anybody that knows me.

Horrific stuff? You have my interest peaked. Links?

Do you mean piqued? Or are you so anti-French you can't bring yourself to use their word

...........not all smoking is the same-you never hear about kids having a pipe behind the bikesheds!

it was a common practice at my skool

I read this myself and thought something similar but I really do fail to see this being enforced on cigar reviews due to them being by a user for a user with next to no involvement from the companies themselves unlike the cigarette company's how have been found to pay people to slip in adverts and so on.
It's easier to find videos on smoking illegal things than cigars so how this is advertising I can't see

Also youtube would have to ban them purely on the UK location settings something easily tricked.

Guns, real-life violence, and general savage behaviour are all filmed and put on YouTube, Facebook et al (as evidently announced by corporations such as the BBC in the past). It is sad that the media chooses to voice these anti-smoking pressure groups. Perhaps they should focus on other areas that are in need of more urgent attention.

There is so much horrific stuff on the web... and this is what they want to ban?

Even if it is just about cigarettes, cigars will unfortunately get caught up in the crossfire. Non-smokers rarely understand that not all smoking is the same-you never hear about kids having a pipe behind the bikesheds!

It would be a pity to see the video reviews go, though they aren't exactly 'subtle' promotion of smoking now...

Does this sound like it could lead to the end of fun things like the Australians we like to watch so much on Youtube and others who want to do cigar related videos?
