Dear Diary...


for years i've been wantin to write a review which wud really give some kind of msg to the public... well.. hopefully.. this is it.. ;)

Killing us slowly


( To the tune of Killing me softly - Fugees )


Ahem Ahem...


This is generally a topic that no one talks about because let's face the fact... What's there to talk about cigarettes...


1.) It kills us.


2.) It harms the environment.


Smokers can think of only these 2 reasons ... non-smokers will come up with a hundred and one reasons as to why smoking is harmful to the environment and how it should be banned.


I'm not here to promote / go against the smoking of cigarettes / cigars / pipes etc... We all have a right to decide what we choose to do with our lives... Some of them are addicted to it no doubt. But have you thought to consider for a moment that had it not been for cigarettes, they might have gotten to worse things? People are smart. They know that cigarettes don’t kill instantly.


Do not forget that cigarettes are one of the biggest selling items in the market and it also is a big revenue earner.


If we were so bothered about the environment then:


1.) We should have been planting more trees rather than just waving signs and


screaming slogans on the road.


2.) We should try to use whatever resources we have wisely than search for


alternatives that take more time and effort.


3.) Try to use simple fuel efficient and less emission producing vehicles.


And let’s not forget… “Smoking Causes Cancer” ……. What about the tons of people of dying everyday due to inhabitable conditions and no food? What are the politicians doing? They get themselves elected to power and they forget that we are the ones who have put them there. They will travel in style and comfort on our money and we cannot do anything.


More people are dying everyday because of this. It’s not related to smoking. You can’t stop something just because it has to be stopped. You should just let them be. Let them realize it however late it may be. Let them regret their lost years of enjoyment had they not smoked. You can try but you can’t succeed.


I’m a smoker myself. I enjoy it and I will continue smoking. The day I feel that smoking is no fun anymore, I will leave it. You want to make a greener country? Clean the garbage that lives in your city. One by one… Slowly but steadily, you will find all your smaller problems getting solved.


Gosh... I’m tired... anyone for a smoke? ;)


Cheers...
