This post is dedicated to all those who are indulging in the macabre pleasure seeking activity of "smoking"and if I have offended any one - Thank God, I did something worthwhile!
The inevitable habit for branded lifestyle since the cowboy, dark coffee, heavy drinking, living tally, and of course, Gauloises, they believe in adopting a cataleptic philosophy "leading by example"
Soon they will be decimated intellectually and will reincarnate as intellectual tour-de-force! The way in which he packages his philosophy, which is quite complicated and never too clear, something like a hamburger - neat, convenient, and portable!
You want some illustrations - Ok, here it goes!
a) Come on, I can provide you with the list of people who never smoked but still died out of lung cancer (Well, you can trust him. Might be he is consoling himself! Ok, my appreciation to your effort of managing huge and authentic database.)
b) If I quit smoking, then I might have to shift to some other unhealthy habits. Something like chewing pan ----- list may extend up to visiting brothels (Okay, so let him do the lesser sin)
c) He will have all the updated information to prove that Nicotine is "elixir of life" (some thing that can even leave the well known physicians stunned)
d) Another updated database of eminent personalities in the neighbourhood / abroad who are smokers (Kyon, tera mama bhi smoker hai, it is not only me - there are many eminent perosonalities too in the smoker's list etc. are the most commonly used dialogues)
e) Amazing capability of coming up with resolutions that are meant to be broken into pieces! It is backed up with amazing set of lies - Something like "I have reduced the number of Cigars to 100 per day ----". Normally, this happens when the blood test report turns out to be disastrous!
In short, they have the nasty habit of turning sane and scientific truths into a simple tick mark on the billboard. They have absolutely made it commonplace, carnal. It's not because they hit a nerve but their explanations and deviant behaviour makes me want to lash out.
- To make it specific, the one who emits smoke from his blemished lungs and dirty mouth straight to your face -
I came across a dad doing this to his two year old kid and passed a comment "I am training her to face challenges in life"
So - What should I do? When I was working with Tata Group, I have earmarked a smoking zone and affixed a poster outside "All idiots assemble here".Later, that was held against me and the poster was destroyed by an eminent smoker!
A simple and humble appeal to all smokers - Please continue doing it! At least behave, do not try to explain the logic and do away with the filthy habit of converting others as "passive smokers".
Advice is something which even they don't like - So, in future I won't advice anyone. Your choice!
But a last word to those who believe statement that will boost their style quotiet "I am Gonna Fag"
"Sir, smoking is not a big deal! I can demonstrate it to you! But not smoking is a big deal! I am throwing the gauntlet!"
