Now I am normally a cynic when it comes to national days, come on-do we honestly need them for e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g? But national no smoking day makes a lot of sense. With the upcoming smoking ban, smokers must surely need to have a re-think of their habits.
I for one can’t wait until July 1st-I can go out, enjoy a drink or two, or maybe even three without going home with my clothes, hair, and handbag smelling of stale smoke. The lowered chances of getting lung, mouth or throat cancer are also a bonus. I have a real problem with the comments which I hear time and time again, “it’s my choice to smoke”, “it isn’t anybody else’s business”, and “it’s my human rights to smoke! ”…excuse me, if you are smoking on the table next to me, waving your death stick in my face it does become my business, my health and my washing load! What about our human rights to breathe fresh clean air?!
Rather than just whinge about this, I have decided upon a new policy, every time somebody says to me “it’s my choice” and lights up their deadly poison, I shall poke them in the eye…It’s my choice smokers, so look out!
