Smoking gun

Tobacco.

Nasty little thing. I remember when I was a kid. You'd be cool, a grown up, if you smoked. Luckilly, I was never that cool! Tried it, as did everyone. Found nothing amusing in it, droped it like... well, like a bad habit! Still even though less and less people smoke, there are still assholes out there that think they're entitled to fuck up everyone's health as they please.

Recently a law was to be approved that made it so that, in order for a restaurant, coffee shop or club to allow smoking, they had to have a specific area for that, with good ventilation and appropriate conditions for non-smokers. Seemed like a good idea (in spite of being near impossible to monitor clubs for that... drunk bastards have little regard for rules and shit). Still, this is a country of lobbies and as such, the law wasn't passed. There was a new law recently about smoking, but no one gave a fuck.

Kinda reminds me when there was a law in order to lower the blood alcohol level's limit to 0.2 g/l. Didn't stand a chance. Beer and wine lobbies. After all, we are a wine producing country, can't undermine one of our greatest exports! Who cares if some family got whacked because of a fucktard who confused vodka for water that night and thought that, since the road was more swervy and wider (hey, it almost looked like there were two roads) it seemed a good night for a drive. Kinda reminds me of an enterview with a street racer, where he says that he drives around other cars in roads not meant for racing, trying to reach the car's top speed and potencially endagering himself and others... but in a safe way. I'm cool with the bastard offing himself though...

But I digress. People who smoke, most of the times, don't give the fuck if they're bothering someone. After all, babies are kinda cute when they cough, right? And of course, they're entitled to. They're not hurting anyone, right? Ok, maybe a little lung cancer, but hey, if it bothers you, you can always move. What, you were eating and they only started smoking halfway through your meal? Well, eat faster. You don't want to step in their freadom to smoke, right? Are you a fascist or something?

And what to do with the cigarrete butt? Well, you could go towards that trash can that's 3 meters away from you... it has a nice little metal plate in order for you to put out your cigarrete and everything (yes, that's what it's there for!) but if you did that, the streets wouldn't be so colorful. And the street sweepers would be out of a job!

What do you mean, it's a beach? Well, the sand helps put out the cigarrete, doesn't it? What would it be there for? If it works as a huge doggie litter box for my dog, I should be able to put out cigarretes in it too, right?

Now excuse me while I go take a puff. See what I mean, the goddamn hospital doesn't even have ashtrays. They're just begging for us to dump the ashes and butts on the ground. Way to be a nazi, prick. I'm entitled to smoke. I don't care if I'm sick because of that. Hell, I'm paying for my medical treatment... ok, so it comes out of our taxes... but I pay taxes too! And besides, there's no proof that lung cancer is associated with cigarretes.

Damn government approved drugs. Hope they at least raise the price on tobacco like they were supposed to. If you are a smoker and are offended by anything written here... fuck you.

Disgusting little habit!

You tried, as did everyone? Again, you assume to much. I never even had one cigarrete near my lips.
You cannot be that radical. Well, you can, but that won't take you anywhere. Having someone smoking around me can be as annoying as your disgusting jokes (that you know I don't like) but I can find "no-smoking sections" whereas I will never find a "no-cash-joke section"!

Well... I guess there are exceptions to every rule, aren't there? Can't I generalize for the sake of argument?

So, I'll correct myself. ... as did anyone except good girls and wussies... better? And also those that had the fortune of going to classes with a class that wasn't high all the time, and where the average age was about 3 years higher that it should be! Better?

Plus, you love my jokes. I mean, most of them are about lesbiasn and EVERYBODY loves lesbians. Generalizing again?

Plus, you'll find a no-cash-zone easilly enough... they're called gay bars. Wooo... he's denoting a homophobic opinion... and generalizing... and being extreme. Yes, that's right, I'm The Dark Lord himself. bah!

Regarding smoking in public: Suppose you were eating in a restaurant, and every two minutes the guy at the next table threw some anthrax germs in the air. Wouldn't you want to sit in a different section?

Regarding restaurants, you could burp anytime someone lights a cigarette.
They won't put it down if they have some character, but at least you'll have some fun!
And, hey!, if I'm there I'll burp with you.
I struggled with this temptation at today's lunch. I'd rather have them smoking pot; at least the smell is nicer.

Well, for the first time I absolutely agree with every word on a post!

(Ok, I didn't try it 'cause it smells bad from afar and I don't need to touch fire to know it's hot, so I must be a wuss... or a good girl? - the promise of years of psychotherapy lingering in the air...)

Seriously now - it makes me sick and if I go postal one day it's going to be over one of those ****** who hold their *** ciggies in the air while the smoke floats oh so graciously towards my face!!!
They should pass a law to allow any citizen to shout out profannities at smokers in public places! I feel it's moraly a socially acceptable... I'm gonna do it! Just you wait - and keep buying the paper.
