I am a smoker, yes i know it cant be all that good
for me but hey I dont drink or beat people up or steal from old
grannies.
We have already had the indignity of being pushed out in the
cold but now it seems that is not good enough.
Now I totally agree with keeping a distance from children,
something I have always done from choice and most considerate smokers do
too, and avoid crowds of people in doorways, its only polite if nothing
else.
But how can a wisp of smoke be so damaging in the open air when you
consider its a micro spit in the ocean in the grand scheme of things. I
mean how much of a percentage of cigarette smoke is there in a square
foot of outside air say on Main st and Steeles compared to aviation
out-spill and car and truck fumes not to mention the industrial
pollution. And that's just the mechanics of it.
What about freedoms of choice? where will this nanny-ism stop. So
many things, because political correctness or the powers that be knowing
what is best for us, are in the firing line ,if not now then it wont be
long before it comes to us all, smoking, drinking, sugar salt fast
food. it will be like the film Demolition man..if the government deems
something not good for you then it will be illegal?
We are going down a slippery slope my friends....mark my words ,
there will come a day people wouldn't mind a faint whiff of cigarettes
if only to have their freedoms back.
