I'm A Celebrity contestant says taking away choice is "dangerous"

The 'stars' of this year's I'm A Celebrity have been revealed.
Alongside former jockey Willie Carson, Coronation Street's Antony Cotton and comedian Freddie Starr is former model and actress Lorraine Chase, a non-smoker who I last saw at Forest's 30th anniversary party in 2009.
In fact, she features at the end of our little promo video (above) after she told us:
"We have a choice. I'm not an idiot. I can think for myself, and the more you take my thinking away from me, that's dangerous, that's dangerous."
Go Lorraine!!
As it happens Forest has a longstanding interest in the reality TV programme. Our patron Antony Worrall Thompson appeared in the second series in 2003 and we kept a daily diary ('I'm a smoker, get me out here!') on our old website.
Sadly it's no longer available because it was very funny. At one point Antony's craving for nicotine (and sausages) got the better of him and he tried to break out of camp in search of fags. He eventually came a creditable fourth.
Since then smokers such as Shaun Ryder have proved very popular with the viewing public which tells you that the habit is not an issue for most people.
If, on the other hand, you're an anti-smoker and obsessive about health (remember Gillian McKeith?) ...

"...which tells you that the habit is not an issue for most people."
Which is why I am angry at the Govt -backed propaganda which is trying to make smoking very much an issue for everyone except those who chose to smoke who are promoted as the enemy of the people.
