End of The Marlboro Man!!

The 2nd of October is gonna be one helluva happy day for me:-)
I've been breaking into smiles while reading the news leading to this great day.. and I hope its a success.

Personally being one who is tempted by the Stick of Death occasionally, I can't wait for the ban on smoking to come into effect. There are temptations, and then are dangerous temptations. Smoking is super dangerous and if the temptation is taken away..the addiction will follow - simple.

Some ppl are crying themselves hoarse about banning the cigarette, why ban the smoking... Do we want the world to ban meat, crispies and cheese to stop obesity?? - NO, Ppl just shouldn't eat too much of either.

Similarily - people should save themselves from cigarettes. I'll be particularly glad to see coffee shops shut down wherein youngsters just splurge money on exhorbinantly charged coffees and finish off packs of ciggies - whiling away hours on end for no reason at all. Clubs used to rip off smokers by charging ciggies @ almost 200% extra.. Now they can concentrate on clean air and proper drinks. Social smokers too will benefit... Now the non-serious smokers will surely not make the effort to leave a pub or disco to go out and smoke on the road like a bunch of outcasts.

With Discoteques surely not being able to have smoking rooms - the whole place will just depend on smoke machines to get their hazy look :-)

I would like to empathise with addicted smokers.. but for the rest out there who make a fool of themselves puffing away for nothing.. too bad suckers!!!!!!!!!!!

SO GOODBYE CIGARETTES - AND MY FELLOW SMOKERS - HAHA! (Like Nelson from "The Simpsons")
