We ALL have things that "Piss us off." We ALL do things that we can justify. Yet if only we could be considerate to others and admit to getting things wrong sometimes, perhaps we could ALL get on a little better.
With the knowlege that we now have re the dangers to ourselves and others of smoking I cannot understand how anybody in their right mind would take it up.
It is bad for you (yes I know, so are many other things like drinking to excess, eating too many Mc Donalds burgers and talking on mobile phones)
It stinks and makes every one it touches stink (yes eating garlic and having bonfires do that too).
The damage it causes costs an enormous ammount in health care ( as does unprotected sex drinking to excess and crashing motorcycles).
Sadly smoking is still a risk that some people choose to make. I personally hate it and try hard not to go anywhere near people who are doing it!
What pisses me off is the sneaky under hand way that the government continually uses to force us to do what it wants and the way we bleatingly let them do it!
Look at Income tax. It came in at 1 penny in the pound to help pay for a war and people at the time were told it would then be abolished. Now bloody look at it!
V.A.T. Yet another sneeky tax.
Every year the budget adds 2 or 3p to booze / fags / petrol /T.V. licence / road tax /etc and we just think it's only 2 or 3 pence, forgetting that on most of those items at least 3/4 of the price is already tax!
Speed cameras. I WONT EVEN GO THERE!
The Soddin Government and the British people have a lot to answer for.
Them for thinking these thinks up and us for letting them do it.
However I digress from the Smoking thing.
NOBODY should force anybody else to stop doing things of their choice as long as its not upsetting others. If you want to kill your self smoking , DO IT!
If you do it and invade my personal space with it I will be pissed off and ask you to kindly to stop, or do it somewhere else. But if you even think about lighting one of the filthy soddin things in my house or car.I WILL SHOVE IT UP YOUR FECKIN ARSE!
I feel very strongly about the right to free will for everybody but am ashamed to say I am really looking forward to the 1st of july when at last all you poor addicted suckers who bent to peer pressure, the need to look cool in front of your mates or who through sheer spinelessness need a crutch to lean on because you dont know what to do with your hands in public, who cant give up and I bet there isnt one of you who truly deep in your heart of hearts even though will never admit because of the years of addiction would like to give up, will at last be forced to stop making my air which I have the right and need to breathe while out in public with my friends or family STINK!
As you can see I am not too keen on smoking anybody else got any views on the ban?
