An Essay on Anti-Smoking Campaign

[maduromojo-cl]

This is an interesting essay by the singer/songwriter Joe Jackson on anti-smoking issues. It's long but raises some good points. Have a cigar while you read it.

It is disingenuous, too, to say that smokers are not being barred from the bar, but just barred from smoking. This is like telling a vegetarian that his favourite restaurant has been turned into a steakhouse - but he's still welcome! For many of us, a drink and a smoke complement each other so perfectly that being forbidden to smoke is not only infuriating but a genuine loss, the loss of a cherished pleasure and a part of our lifestyle. One smoker I know describes it as ‘like being forced to eat chips with no salt'.

Nice article, thanks for sharing!
